[Wswss] 222 MHz SSB activity in San Bernardino/Riverside, CA area

[Todd Evans]

Hi Jim.
When I was very active in the early to mid 90s on 222, yes, most activity was during contests, but this could change if folks would stop hesitating to gear up for the band due to lack of participation. The only reason for the lack of participation is that folks are afraid to invest in a dead band, it's a viscious circle...If 10% of all weak signal folks would gear up on 222 no matter what, activity could be fantastic!

Hello,

I'm considering buying an Elecraft transverter kit for the 222 MHz band, 
to give me complete coverage of 50 Mhz->432 MHz.

Before taking this leap, though, I'd like to know if activity on this 
band in this area warrants the expense.

I'd heard a rumor that the band was active mostly around contests.

All opinions are appreciated.
