[VHFcontesting] Hey! It's 222 Night!

[David Olean]

Another Tuesday  is here so I am planning to take a nice walk through 
the 3.5" of snow received today and attempt to get on the 222 MHz band 
for all sorts of excitement, mirth, and downright mind numbing fun!  The 
fun will start after dinner and be sure to check into the ON4KST Chat 
page so folks will know that you are looking for contacts. Those guys in 
the activity centers always have beams pointed at them, but folks on the 
perimeter always have beams pointed away from them! So let everyone know 
that you exist and are on 222 and I am sure they will all look for you.  
Be sure you get on the correct chat. It is 144/432 Region 2 Chat.

So I am lacing up my winter boots for a nice slog thru the woods. I hope 
to be QRV just before 2300 UT. It looks like the snow stopped and I am 
hoping for better weather. Last week was loaded with rain static and 
lightning crashes from out West. We can't catch a break. I keep telling 
myself that Spring is coming.

I hope to contact a bunch of stations  The more who show up just 
increases the fun for all. Maybe K1PXE will show up? Maybe KK4MA and 
N8LRG catch some tropo?  Maybe I can find the shack in the dark?

CU on 222.100.
