PARTICIPANTS
KA2KGP, Tom, 5 fpqso=13 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=2 spc=9 total=369
Worked 4 pigs on 20m. but 40m. was the piggie roundup band. Lot's of Grunts & Squeals heard on 40m. here in the WNY barnyard. Used my IC-7000 pig caller w/ a G5RV up 25 ft. & an old WWII German Junkers straight key. Oinks to All. 72
AA2YO, GENE, 5W fpqso=8 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=9 spc=10 total=330
Made 2 quick contacts on 20 meters and then went to the zoo on 40 meters. Not a lot of open space in the 40 meter barnyard. Thanks to piggies K9QEW, K4KBL, WU4G, KC3MIO, KA2KGP, NQ2W and K4NLT for the contacts. Worked K4KBL on both 20 and 40 meters. Set a personal record for non-piggies calling me when I was calling CQ FP. Special welcome to non-piggie WA2OTC who called using his power instead of pig number. Hopefully next time he will have his own number.
NQ2W, Will, 5W fpqso=6 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=6 spc=11 total=264
A couple QSOs on 20, a few on 40, and one on 80. Was hoping for more activity...you can lead piggies to the trough but you can't make 'em eat. I appreciate the opportunity for the QRP fun and am happy to have made some contacts. 72 and oo, Will, NQ2W
K4WY, Jack, 5 fpqso=9 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=8 total=216
5 watts, Penntek TR-35 to vert. Is it me or were there three contests going on top of the RFTB? Many thankful oinks to W4NLT, WB1GYZ and NQ2W who were in the wallow until the end.
W4NLT, Andy, 5W fpqso=7 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=4 spc=6 total=150
Started a little late and found the activity was on 40M with some of the QRP faithful. Managed to pull in KB4VU on 20M though. Worked some POTA to keep busy. Thanks for the QSOs. Wish more piggies were out there. Andy 72 OINK OINK
K9QEW, Daryl, 5 fpqso=6 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=3 spc=7 total=147
First time on 40m due to antennas issues in 4 months.
Hopefully, I can now operate again on 40m. Qs on both
20 and 40 meters. Heavy QRM from Illinois QSO Party and
SST, 72/73s & STAY TUNED! Daryl o-o
KC3MIO, Rich, 5W fpqso=5 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=5 total=75
Thought it would be better, but I got 5. G90 @5W into 125' doublet up 45'. Promised XYL I would watch Gunsmoke at 8 EDT. 73
K4KBL, Jerry, 5 watts fpqso=6 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=4 total=72
Slim pickins’ tonight.
WU4G, Ron, 5 fpqso=2 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=2 total=12
Heard and got no responses on 20. Went to 40 and heard and worked K4KBL, thanks! Got only one more response to CQ and that was it. Tried 20 again and zilch. Been a long day so called it early. Thanks!
WB1GYZ, Bob, 5W fpqso=1 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=1 total=3
Caught the last 5 minutes of tonight's Run. Gotta do better next month.
W5TTA, Rebecca, 5W fpqso=0 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=1 spc=0 total=0
40m was too crowded and 20 was too noisy, so I settled into calling my first CQ OINKs on 15m. (Still too nervous to self-spot--maybe next time!) Bagged one non-piggie, N7WI.
N2TNN, Dean, 5W fpqso=0 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=0 total=0
Worked the first hour and heard nothing, zero except for the QRM on 40.Sorry, I was out there .......
