Day 1-Band was fairly short and in good shape. Didn't hear many stations but the ones that I heard were very strong. Thanks to piggies WB0CJB, WB9HFK and K4EGK for the contacts. Also heard KG5ZID loud and clear but I guess he couldn't hear me. Day 2-Where have all the piggies gone. Worked one QRO station in MO. Band was open but much longer than last night and only heard one station calling CQ FP but the signal faded before I got the call. Heard stations in AZ and ID but could not raise either.

Day 1: Thanks to fellow Pigs AA2YO, N3AZB and N1BIV for the QSO's. All with good signals. I didn't hear Paul - so, had no idea we were within 200 Hz. 72, Mark WB9HFK oo
Day 2: I didn't get on the air till about 0215Z. RBN showed I had decent signals in the Caribbean and the Western US. Many thanks to VE9QR (Bruce) who called me. He was QRP and had a nice signal from NB. 72, Mark WB9HFK oo

WB0CJB, Paul, TN, 5W fpqso1=3, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 9 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk20 Total: 9
Day 1 I worked AA2YO, N3AZB, and N1BIV. All with good signals. I couldn't hear Mark WB9HFK so I was not aware we were so close.
Day 2- I wasn't able to be on as we lost power around 7:55 PM due to storms. The power came back on around 9:58 PM. See everybody Sunday evening in the RFTB! 72 es OO Paul WB0CJB

N3AZB, Dennis, MD, 5 watts fpqso1=3, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 9 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk20 Total: 9
Day One:
Heard Mark, WB9HFK, and Paul, WB0CJB, loud and clear all night long. For a while Mark and Paul were calling CQ FP only 200 Hz apart. Come on fellows spread it out a little bit. I can separate signals 200Hz apart but not everyone can. Band conditions were good but participation was bad. The last station I worked was Hardy, KG5ZID, his signal was weak here and he wasn't zero beat but I managed to work him after some effort. My thanks to Mark, Paul, and Hardy for making it an enjoyable evening.

N1BIV, Bob, PA, 5 fpqso1=0, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 0 fpqso2=2, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 6 , PigWalk20 Total: 6

Only worked day 2. CQed most of the hour and managed to work fellow piggy, Daryl, K6KRG in ID. No other answers to CQ. I only copied one other station (partially) WB9HFK. No other stations heard from SoCal.
Interestingly, Reverse Beacon Net showed my "5W on a wire" signal reported by both IT9GSF in Italy and VE6JY in Alberta, Canada, both very high end stations with big antennas.

WD9EGW, Chuck, IL, 5 W fpqso1=0, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 0 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk20 Total: 0
I missed last night. Tonight I didn't hear any pigs and actually no stations at all. The RBN was picking me up and I saw AA2YO on the RBN,but could not hear him. Hopefully conditions are better for the Run.
72, Chuck
