[K3PZN-List] 1.25m/33cm bands

well you did not mention if the rig is FM only or all mode?  (both bands in same rig sounds all mode to me)

CW/SSB tends to be mostly active during contests, especially these higher bands.  a few watts into a yagi on these odd bands are coveted by vhf ops.  

on FM I am thinking there still may be a few 220 MHz repeaters around.  check to see if T-MARC has a list.  when 144 MHz was congested 220 was a popular slow lane for rag chewing.  activity might be even more scarce on 900 MHz except for maybe ATV.  if you have a 220 antenna, you can try monitoring and calling on one of the nearby repeaters to see if there is anyone there.  

speaking of scarce machines -- perhaps we should consider a special interest net of some kind to put our Sykesville 2m machine to use.

 Anyone have much luck in the region with 1.25m/33cm bands? Granted, they
aren't the bands that folks are dying to use, but I do have a radio that
operates in both bands and was curious what the experience was locally, if
any...

Merry Christmas!
