Yesterday at 2216 UTC -- the first day we didn't have rain, drizzle and
fog in about a month! It's back to the RDF today and for at least the next
week!
I got some strange looks from passers by and visitors to the park where
the mobile set up. There was a big coil, variometer, the TX and power
meter, the RX and RX loop on the roof of the car and the yellow
antenna that looked like blasting wire dangling in a tree! I told one
curious lady who dropped by not to worry -- it was just a radio
experiment!
No doubt you and Steve VE7SL had a QSO on 2200 months ago. It seems
the band became available on 01 January. Sadly there doesn't seem
to be much interest in 2200m locally. Hopefully this will change
when the message gets out and the soldering irons start smoking again.

Congrats to JA7NI and to Scott for receiving him and also transmitting
again on 2200m in VE7 land. For fun XYL VO1RL and I also had a CW QSO on
137 kHz... only a few km so not big DX, but a start on a new Canadian band
in this end of the country.
The TX is back on 507.77 kHz for tonight. Thanks to Henny for the
recent reports.
