A few weeks ago, I heard from KC8QAE Gerry in EN91.
He and N8WNA John in EN82 have been calling around
informally on 222.100 at 8:30pm central time Tues. nights.
Gerry asked me to help spread the word and I'm happy to.
222 is a great band -- better prop than 144, and less noise, too.
Problem with 222 is it doesn't get enough use. So I'm
letting V/UHF'ers everywhere know it's time to make Tuesday
night 222 activity night again.
The word has gone out heavily within a few hundred miles
of my SE WI QTH. I suspect I'll be out in the shed looking
around on 222 by about 7:30pm central tonight. Hopefully
some of you will try it out, too.
Spin your beams around, call CQ, make some noise. If
you need to slide off of 222.100, because it's busy, so much
the better.
REMINDER -- The 222 fall sprint is next Tuesday night
the 29th. 7-11pm your local time. Get some momentum
going on 222, starting tonight.
We can also use this page: http://dxworld.com/220prop.html
to better coordinate the activity. Go look at it, there's been
20 posts the past 2 weeks, and half of them are by the same
lonely guy in EM15 Oklahoma. We can improve on this...
