Day 1 was a struggle due to thunderstorms in distance. Thanks to piggies KB9BVN/Brian, W4NLT/Andy, and WB9HFK/Mark for the QSOs.
Day 2 was just a plethora of QRN, but worked AA2YO/Gene, KF2P/Nick, and WD9EGW/Chuck. Was a challenge, had to chase Nick to confirm QSL. Had fun.72 OO

First Bacon Run in 20 years. Just getting back on the radio. Had storms in the area and QRN and QSB made for some tough copy but I was able to pull out a few. Call is AA4NO, Typo on log submit.

KK4ITX, John, ME, 5 fpqso1=2, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 6 fpqso2=1, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 3 , PigWalk20 Total: 9
Storms on the horizon made it a tough go but not too bad for 5w and 65ft of wire and in the woods too! Tnx Ken & Mark for picking me up.
#2 Night....The only signal I heard was from W4QDV way down in GA and I had been on 20m since 0100z looking for Foxii between 14.050 and 14.070 very carefully with no luck at all. So thanks Dave for my one QSO!

I brave the nearby lightning strikes and got on the air. There were some ops sending CQ NA but the CQ FPs were scarce. Finally heard Sergio KB9QPT with a good signal out of Ohio. In the last few minutes, I sent CQ and was delighted to hear Pete NO2D. Thanks for the QSOs, friends! See you tomorrow if the storms cooperate.
Night 2 or "Starting Too Soon" wherein a not-actually-dyslexic pig started sending CQ an hour early... thank you John KK4ITX for alerting me that FP hadn't started yet, and for being my 1 second night QSO! 72, Dave

KB8QPT, Sergio T. Ruiz, OH, 5W fpqso1=2, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 6 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk20 Total: 6
I didn't hear any signals, so I called CQ. Ended up with two QSOs on day one: W4QDV (Dave) and W4NLT (Andy). At the end of the contest, SP3CW called as a non contest response. So I hit Poland on 5W.
Second night, I called CQ for about a half an hour, with no bites.
This was the first time using the new rig, Yeasu FT-710. I usually run the Electraft K2 for this.
Thanks all!

Pigs seemed scarce tonight in Central IL. Was sorry to lose K7PD to QSB before completing the exchange. Finally caught up with AA4NO after a couple tries that faded out. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Will try again tomorrow evening.
