Started off quite well on 20m with a couple stations logged right away...then things slowed down. A QSY to 40 livened up the headphones...then I took a break. What a finish to the US Open! Tried 80, nothing. Went back to 20, and got one. Back to 40, nothing. Back to 80 and got one. 2-banders with WB9HFK, WD9EGW, and KA2KGP. A lot of fun trying...it would be great if more folks got on! Thanks for the contacts...hope to be back next month. 72 and oo, Will, NQ2W

Thanks to NQ2W for QSO's on both 40M and 20M! Also, to N5GW for a 20M QSO, and WD9EGW, KA2KGP, AA2YO and non-Piggie W6NDE for the 40M QSO's. I just operated for the first hour, and went back to the VHF Contest. I hope to see everyone next time out! 72, Mark WB9HFK oo

Joined in the last 20 minutes or so after 2 days of SKCC WES so my one good ear was challenged. Managed to work Tom KA2KGP on 40M and 80M. Included SKCC QSOs since they were in the right timeframe and I was QRP. SST on 40M took up much of the space. Thanks for the QSOs Tom 72 Oink Oink
AA2YO, Gene, 5 W fpqso=3 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=2 spc=4 total=44
Quit early. That was a frustrating hour and a half. Only three pigs heard and every time I found a clear spot to call CQ an SST station would jump in on top of me. Thanks to piggies KA2KGP, NQ2W and WB9HFK for the contacts.

Most Hogs & Sows grunts & squeals were heard in the 40 m. barnyard. Only 2 on 80 m. & 2 on 20 m. My Pig-Caller was an ICOM IC-7000 at 5 watts into a G5RV up 20 ft. w/ a WWII German Junkers straight key pig scratcher. Have a great summer slopin' in the mud piggies! 72

WD9EGW, Chuck, 5W fpqso=3 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=2 total=18
Managed to work NQ2W on 20 and 40. Worked WB9HFK on 40. No others heard. Thanks guys. Noise and SST finally wiped me out. See you next event.
72, Chuck

Did not hear much activity, but it was fun pounding on my left handed bug!
KF6NCX, Larry, 5w fpqso=0 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=0 total=0
I operated for an hour but had no success. A couple of times I heard some cw too faint to copy. At one point I thought I heard a call sign being sent that seemed to end with a Y. The RBN showed three spots for me on 40 meters: One was 175 miles away, the other 400. Decent strength to the 400-mile beacon: 14 db and 17 db. I was not spotted on 10, 15 or 20. Hope for better luck next time. Oink Oink.

No participation tonight. Thunderstorms rolled in around 6 PM and stayed until after the sprint was over. Maybe next time????
