[NLRS] 222 Tuesday is ON Every Tuesday

[Todd Sprinkmann]

     Just sent this to the VHF reflector (w6yx at stanford.edu) -- 
I apologize to those of you who receive this message twice.   
My intent isn't to spam; it's to ensure a maximum number of 
222 stations know about 222 Tuesdays.   Help spread the word.   

     Friendly reminder that tonight is 222 Tuesday.   
     It's a general activity night for all USA/VE 222 ops.   
No single focus, no net control.   Get on, call CQ in multiple 
directions.   Check out propagation; use the band allocation.   

     This is not a hard and fast rule, but most guys seem to 
get on toward dark.   With days getting shorter, expect 222 
Tuesdays to become more active.   

     Consider posting your activity to the 222 Prop Logger 
http://dxworld.com/220prop.html or log in to the real-time 
VHF/UHF chat at on4kst.com.   Use the IARU Region 2 
room for 144-432 MHz.   By making your activity more 
visible, you help encourage others to get involved or add 
222 to their weak-signal VHF/UHF station.   

     If you are unfamiliar with 222 Tuesdays, I'll have a more 
detailed post up at kc9bqa.com sometime later this morning.   

    IF YOU WANT TO PERK UP 222 TUESDAY, consider 
doing this:   Take your rover setup out to a more difficult grid.   
Find that high spot and see who all you can work.   Remember 
to advertise your plan ahead of time, so others will know to 
look for you.   Also consider taking along someone who is 
interested in roving.   The ARRL Sept. VHF QSO Party is 
Sept 11-12th, so now is a good time to get someone 
interested in roving for September.
