Thanks to piggies N3AZB, KB2GKC, KA2KGP, N1BIV, NN9K, WB9HFK and WX4RM for the contacts. I used my portable station, Xiegu G90, with my EFHW antenna instead of my normal home station to see how well it worked. Day 2-Band about the same as last night except noisier. Thanks to KA2KGP, W4NLT, N1BIV, WX4RM and WB9HFK for the contacts. The qso with WB9HFK was really iffy while KA2KGP was so strong I worked him twice by mistake. Used the same rig a last night.
