  Congratulations Greg, 222 is a great band.  The tropo has been very strong into the Chicago/Cleveland region with huge signals on 2m for a least a full day now.  Typically most on FT8 (sigh).   Best DX here on 2m has been FM18, K1RZ, MDC, who has been in most of the last 24 hrs with a good signal.   Best DX on 432 has been EN70 where its been mostly quiet .... everyone is on 2m FT8.   
Enjoy the tropo opening !

 I worked EN70 on 222 FT8 this morning.  Have made three other DX contacts on FT8 this week into Iowa, but this is the longest yet.  About 20W into a PAR OA-222 at around 20'.
