Used my K1 at 4-5W. Bands were in nice shape with easily readable signals. Had 2-banders with WBOCJB (20 & 80), K4BAI (20 & 80), KA2KGP (40 & 80), and N5GW (20 & 40). I was the only station I saw using qsofinder.com. Thank you for the enjoyable RFTB. MX, HH, HNY, and oo! Will, NQ2W

A good nite for pigs on 80 & 40 meters here in the WNY barnyard. Hogs & Oinkers were heard squeelin' very loud tonite. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all us piggies! 72 & O.O.

Thanks for the QSOs. By band: 20M 1; 40M 7; 80M 6. As long as the second hour conflicts with the SST, why don't we go to 80M for the last hour? At least until summertime conditions take over. Operated about 1.5 hours and spent the rest of the hour on dinner with XYL, end of the Atlanta Falcons win over the Arizona Cardinals and two quick NTS net sessions. 73/72, John, K4BAI Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
WB0CJB, Paul, 5W fpqso=13 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=1 spc=8 total=320
Great sprint tonight! 2-band QSOs with NQ2W (20/80), KG5OWB (20/40) & K4BAI (40/80), as well as contacts with N2TNN, W0ITT, AA2YO, KA2KGP, K0LAR, N3AZB, KG8DA, and non-FP KE0TT. Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous new year! See you all on SKN! Rig was a K2 and antenna was a 6BTV vertical. 72/73 de Paul WB0CJB OO

The second hour (parallel to SST) is kind of a waste. Shame we couldn't start earlier?
Reminds me of an old 3 Stooges routine:
"SST! Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch, ......"
Fun event, I always enjoy venting about things that aggravate me. Merry Christmas to all. 72, OO de Gary W0ITT

FT818 and a dipole. Good to hear so many old oinkers on tonight. 80 meters was packed with oinkers tighter than a can of spam. Looking forward to next year and many more wallows.

Time change got me. Was on for last hour. Got 2 on 20 meters WB0CJB and K4WY. 3 on 40 meters N9AK, KA2KGP and AA2YO. It was fun! Thanks to all.
KG5OWB, Terry, 5W fpqso=6 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=4 total=72
20m was very strong in STX this evening. WB0CJB had a big sig here on 20m and 40m. Had QSOs with NQ2W and KC4NO on 20m and N2TNN and KA2KGP on 40m. Was portable in a neighborhood park and didn't have 80m available. Fun night! Tnx all! MC and HNY!

Very noisy tonight in the SWNJ barnyard. Don't know the cause of all the noise but I suspect it could have something to do with my neighbors (both sides) elaborate Christmas decorations. Bah humbug. Things only got worse when the SST guys started in. I started out on 15 meters and had a nice QSO with NM5M who was running 400 watts in Texas but things went downhill from there. Thanks to piggies N3AZB, NQ2W, KA2KGP and WB0CJB for the contacts. Hope everybody has a great holiday season. AA2YO

Well this was interestng... I accidently stepped on a fp on 80 meters. K4BAI I didn't realize he was Running for the Bacon and thought he was playing in the SST. So next month I will put this on my calendar. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the piggies...
