220 was much more active back in the 90s, Jim (I'm in Torrance). I used it and the Condor system to chat with a pal out in Parker AZ back in those days. Now my only 220 capability is an HT!

All the bands up there seem pretty empty. Cellphones?

I was about to order the 222 MHz transverter kit, but looked at how little activity there is on that band in this area, except during contests. Even then, about 70% seems to be on FM, so I couldn't justify the expenditure.

I see it as a paradox. This is the LA/OC area of southern California; the second-largest population center in the US.

Hello Group-

Since Elecraft makes an 222 MHz Xverter I wonder how many ops have built one? I noticed that its more of a kit, soldering parts to the circuit board. I also wonder how much activity there is around the country on 222 regarding weak signal work and cw/ssb ops? I have rigs for 144 and 432 since I am an ex Amsat opr.....

Thanks in Advance
