Propagation Summary :: 222 - 225 MHz (135cm)

The 135-cm band shares many characteristics with the 2 meter band.
The normal working range of 222-MHz stations is nearly as far as comparably equipped 144-MHz stations. The 135-cm band is slightly more sensitive to tropospheric effects, but ionospheric modes are more difficult to use.
Auroral and meteorscatter signals are somewhat weaker than at 144 MHz, and sporadic E contacts on 222 MHz are extremely rare.
FAI and TE may also be well within the possibilities of 222 MHz, but reports of these modes on the 135-cm band are uncommon.
Increased activity on 222 MHz will eventually reveal the extent of the propagation modes on the highest of the amateur VHF bands.
