First time in Walk for the bacon. Good sigs to the West coast
but many stations CQing on top of each other. Need to spread out.Some QSB here.
Thanks for the fun time.

Day 1 was a bust until I finally worked K6JS. Hopefully the band will be better tomorrow night. Day 2 was full of crickets- no piggies heard but heard K6JS faintly. The band was open as I worked PJ2/NF9V lower in the band. Threw in the towel 10 minutes early.
Day 1- 7300 and 6BTV
Day 2 - Elecraft K2 and 6btv and 55-foot random wire & tuner.

Day 1-Very frustrating evening. The band was very long and very unstable. Lots of QSB on the signals I heard. My one contact was with K6JS in CA and I am not sure he copied all my info. Heard signals from ID, NM and CO but could not work any of them. I know WB9HFK was on the air since I heard WU0A working him, but I could not hear Mark. Day 2-Got home late but I doubt I missed much. Band similar to last night. Again, only QRP signal I heard was Jim, K6JS. Rough copy but got him in the log. Thanks, Jim, for the contact.

Day 1: Worked Jim, K6JS, and I heard him work lots of other piggies I could not hear. Heard Mark, WB9HFK, briefly but couldn't work him. called another piggie I heard calling CQ FP but he didn't respond. After the Sprint switched to 60 meters and worked 3 stations quickly with only 3 watts.
If I can stay awake, I will try day two.
Day 2: One QSO early with Jim, K6JS. Didn't hear any piggies. Some RTTY QRM. According to RBN my signal was strong into Sicily but no where else.

Hearing no pigs and actually no one at all, I was about to quit when I heard K6JS. Jim, thanks for the QSO. Hope tomorrow evening is better.
Day 2: Thunderstorm tonight.

Called on 14.0635 for about 25 minutes, RBN reported me in W TX and in New England. Band was too long for the Pig Pen from FL. Might try tomorrow night if I can stay awake HI HI.
