Day 1-Didn't know what to expect tonight with the sun's hyperactivity the last few days. Didn't hear many stations but the ones that I heard were pretty strong. Thanks to piggies WB9HFK, WX4RM and KA2KGP for the contacts. Also welcome to WB7BNE for the 5w contact. Hopefully he will be a piggie by the next contest. Day 2-Band not in great shape but thanks to piggies WB9HFK and WB0CJB for the contacts. Heard N3AZB and squealed and oinked to no avail. There is always next month. 72 OO

Day One:
I was called by Ron, WX4RM, and Mark, WB9HFK, in the first 15 minutes. Then I tuned around and found Tom, KA2KGP at 00:23. I then alternated between calling and searching but only heard WX4RM and KA2KGP who I had already worked. Then at 00:58 I had a QSO with Mark, WB7BNE a non-piggie who said his pwr was 5w.
Day Two:
I was called by Paul, WB0CJB, around 02:12 and Mark, WB9HFK, at 02:17. I didn't hear any other piggies calling except Paul, WB0CJB, who was still at it until 02:59. Band conditions were not he best and there was QRM from digital modes.

A quiet nite, not many oinks, grunts & squeels heard here in the WNY barnyard. Where were all the boars, sows & piglets? My pig caller was an IC-7000 at 5w. into a G5RV w/ a straight key.
I hope there's more Bacon out there in tonights PigWalk. 72

I missed the first night as my XYL and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary (that takes priority over any radio time HI HI). The second night I worked fellow trough members KA2KGP, N3AZB, and AA2YO. Dennis was the loudest station and thanks to Gene for hanging in there with me. The band started to improve toward the end of our QSO. 72 es OO Paul WB0CJB. My rig was a K2 and 6BTV vertical.
