Day 1-Band was open but very long. Only piggie worked was KT4WA. Thanks Izzy for the contact. You got stronger as the evening wore on. Worked 3 non-pigs. One in MS, one POTA in KS and one in Milan Italy. The shortest distance was probably the MS station at about 1100 miles. Day 2-Very disapointing. No piggies heard. The band was open to MS and TX from my QTH with strong signals from both states. Worked 2 non-piggies. Strangely the station I worked in MS was the same station I worked last night. 72 OO

KT4WA started it off and then I was called out as being QRM.30 minutes of nothing and getting abused by QRO. Day 2 found Scott N0AR and a stray. band was very quiet but no takers from the local guys, 72, all

Day 1 - pretty bleak. Izzy KT4WA had a pretty good signal but that was it. Worked several POTA in KS, CO and OR so band had some range. Maybe more piggies tomorrow. 72 Andy OINK OINK
Day 2 - Frustrating. Piggies were out there but I didn't hear them and they didn't hear me. Band was long. Heard stations in WA,TX and PR. 72 Andy oink oink

Night 1 I was unable to join everybody in the trough due to thunderstorms at my pen. Night 2 I did work AB0CD (non-member) and KI5CAW. A quiet band but it was great to participate anyway.
