That was a challenge. 4 QSOs on 20m and 7 on 40m. Tried 80m late in the sprint but logged no QSOs there. Tnx to FPs AE7CG, KF4GNV (2 bands), K9QEW, WB5HOW, K4WY, WD9EGW, WB9HFK, and AA2YO for the FB contacts. Hoping for more participants and better propagation next month. 72 and oo, Will, NQ2W
WB9HFK, Mark , 5W fpqso=5 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=4 spc=9 total=171
Considering the poor bands of late - not too bad, I guess.
Thanks to fellow Pigs K4WY, WB0CJB, AA2YO, NQ2W, and W1PID for the QSO's on 40M. 72, Mark WB9HFK oo
K4WY, Jack, 5 fpqso=6 fpdxqso=1 nonfpqso=1 spc=7 total=168
trc-35 5 watts and dipole for 40. Slow night in the barn yard. Lots of solar activity with high QRN levels made it challenging. I received more 3/2 9 RST reports than ever before :)
Major oinks to some power house FPers NQ2W, WB9HFK, AA2YO were going hog wild with many QSOs!
72 for now

Band was short with some very strong local stations. Kept getting calls from the local SST guys for the last hour. Thanks to piggies WB9HFK, W1PID, NQ2W, K4WY and K3EMS. WB9HFK was a real struggle versus the local stations who were arm chair copy.
WB0CJB, Paul, 5W fpqso=4 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=2 total=24
I worked K9QEW, WD9EGW, WB9HFK, and K4WY. Band conditions were really poor but improved just a little by Sunday evening. Hopefully the sun will straighten up and fly right by the next sprint. 72 es OO to all. Paul WB0CJB
KF4GNV, Ron Hamby, 5 watts fpqso=2 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=2 total=12
Worked NQ2W on 2 bands. Only other station I heard. Still fun to work some QRP CW.

Bands seemed noisy tonight. Thanks to WB0CJB and N2QW for the contacts. Both strong signals in Peoria. Heard WB9HFK and AA2YO but no luck catching them.

WOW !! Lousy bands & bad wave here in the WNY pigpen. Heard a couple pigs & sows squeel'n & grunt'n, but no contacts. I think sunspots wreakin' havok on HF. Hope for better conditions next sprint. 72 to all us piggies !

I had high hopes for this pig run, but, alas, they weren't fulfilled -- my own fault partly. I spent too much time playing piggleball with some of my pals and was pretty tired when the run started. Operated for half an hour. Thought I heard some dits and dahs, faintly at 14061 or so but nothing copyable. The RBN picked up my CQs a couple of times, but only at about 500 miles away. After half an hour, I just lay down in the mud and took a nap. I'll make sure I'm more rested for the June Pig Run.
