I managed to work four piggies the first night. The second evening I did not hear any club members at all. The band was noisy. I heard one QSO going on and I could hear weak signal from W1AW for code practice.
Maybe the band will quiet down next month.

Drat Brian KB9BVN I'm so SRI--I goofed and just realized I forgot to turn my power down to 5W before our QSO. I'm afraid I don't count. I turn my curly tail down in shame. Now running 5W. Alas, no more piggies for me tonight. Guess I got off on the wrong hoof. NIGHT 2: Remembered the pre-flight 5W check this time. Bagged just 2 piggies: TU Paul WB0CJB and Mark WB9HFK. 72 oo!
