Fun! First night conditions were very good, WB9HFK, K9QEW, N5GW and K5KGK, and one non-piggie WB9AKM answered my CQ. Second night conditions much harder, K5KGK again then called CQ for a long time, thanks to KT4WA for persisting many times through the QSB, finally solid copy. I am a new member and this was my first Walk for the bacon. Hope to cuagn next time.
