Day 1: Really quiet the first 1/2 hour. Only worked fellow Pig KK4ITX and non-member N5LZ. At 0030Z things picked up and added fellow Pigs KB1M, KN1H, N5GW, and KC7DM who I presume arrived for the NAQCC. Also added non-members KF7Z, and K0HNL.
The 20M QRP Foxhunt will be running from 0100Z to 0230Z on Day 2. 72, Mark WB9HFK oo
Day 2: Thanks to fellow FP'er N6ZO for my only QSO tonight!

Condx poor both sessions! In fact I thought my antenna was
disconnected. If not for N5LZ and W9DWR I would have been
ZONK!. 72/73s OO

Only got 1 Piggy and tried for another but no more bacon. Don’t be afraid to join in the NAQCC Sprint doing so counts for both of you and they are happy to QRS but probably don’t need to. Lots of QSB. Please QRL? before CQing especially when the Bands are bad. Didn’t realize that Mark had copied me so I am happy as a pig !

Day-1 Time preempted elsewhere. Day-2 One full contact with a QRO station, AG5ZN, in Texas. Band very unstable. Answered CQ from piggie, WX4RM. He had a strong signal and copied his exchange but after I sent my exchange he was gone. Called CQ a few times and quit early.


KF6NCX, Larry, CA, 5 fpqso1=0, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 0 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk20 Total: 0
All I heard was a lot of static. Well ... almost. In the last couple of minutes, I thought I heard something sounding like cw. Thought I heard an "M" at one point. Pretty rough. I did drop down lower in the band at one point and heard what sounded like W1AW sending the bulletin, so my rig WAS working.
