Interesting evening! Thanks to WX4RM, WB9HFK, KD9RFR, K9QEW, W4NLT, K4WY, and N3AZB for the contacts. Also worked NJ3B (QRO) who was looking for a SKCC contact. Found a new meaning for QSB -- Battery in hearing aids dying, first the right then a bit later the left but it is all in fun!
Thanks to W4QDV. W4NLT, K4WY, WX4RM and AA2YO for pulling me out of the noise. And I made a big blunder -- W8PIG called me and I gave a report and since W8PIG was not zero beat I pushed what I thought was the RIT button -- OOPS it was the data button and all kinds of confusion ensued and I lost the QSO! Maybe next month,
Happy 4th of July!!

Hope to be on Tomorrow night, but who knows!

Well, session two was much more fun: 2 FP QSOs and one none FP, but that one turned into a long QSO with a newbie CW op and he did great: that was Jerry KB7BX in Bakersfield.
Heard a N9 station in there but too much QRN from storms in Nevada messing with 40M.

N6ZO, Ted Jacobson, CA, 5W fpqso1=2, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 6 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk40 Total: 6
Day 1: Worked my first FP and first QRP CW QSO with Jim, W6EU. Thanks!!!
Also worked my good friend es CW mentor, Larry, KF6NCX. A great day!
Day 2: No FP QSOs worked

KF6NCX, Larry, CA, 5 fpqso1=1, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 3 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk40 Total: 3
I was happy to work Ted, N6ZO at about 0044Z after not hearing anyone at all on 40m. I heard Ted working W5DXR and called him when their QSO was over. I had started out calling CQ and doing some searching between 7110 and 7125 but encountered no action at all and heard no one on the band. Later, I went down to 7060 and above, which is where I encountered N6ZO. Right at the end of the hour I heard a cw qso going on at 7115 but it was too faint to copy.
I only had half an hour to wallow in the mud during the second edition. Jim, W6EU, answered my cq and we had a successful qso. Also, I heard NN9K calling CQ FP but when I called, I received no answer. Tnx fer the fun!

Worked AA2YO answering his CQ. Missed first night and had limited time on 40m but happy for the QSO slow speed really helps me as I’m getting back into CW. Looking forward to next month

N6MST, Mike, ID, 5W fpqso1=0, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 0 fpqso2=1, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 3 , PigWalk40 Total: 3
My first FP participation ever. Had some luck early on when Jim W6EU heard me calling, solid signals both ways. But that is where my luck ran out. I copied NN9K but he only got my N and W4QDV didn't hear me at all. It's still daylight in the PNW so 40 meters is tough right now. Regardless, I had fun! We're headed to VK-land in a week so the rest of July FP is not happening for me, let's see how I do in August. 72 all!
