Day 2: The band was noisy again, and the challenge of digital and SW stations on 40m made it more thrilling.. Thanks to Mark/WB9HFK, Paul/WB0CJB, Daryl/K9QEW, and new one (for me) Ron/WX4RM. Hope I dont miss the other runs cause of time change 😆. 72 de Izzy/KT4WA OO

I always try to find the time! This is a challenge for my low 40m dipole...I need to get it higher!!!
No need to 'squeal about it, just do it but there is 3-4 feet of snow in my backward!!!
Thanks for the patience ops of WB9HFK, WX4RM, W9DWR, WB0CJB
I managed 4 fpqsos
Yes the digital signals were annoying...I find my RIT helped me out...running a IC-705 and I'm still learning after I sold my 7300

Day1 - Conditions terrible in SWNJ this evening. Band was very noisy and lots of fast and deep QSB. A big storm passed through the area right before the beginning of the Pig Walk. Thanks to WB9HFK, N4QA/4 and W4QDV for the contacts. Thanks to K9QEW for the try. You were strong to start but quickly faded into the noise. Also heard K2PHD and new member, VA3CJW, but could not establish contact. Day2 - Did not make it home in time. See you next month.

Bagged 3 thanks to oinkers WB0CJB, KA8HDE, and WB9HFK. Apologies for the sloppy sending--got flummoxed when the vari-speed flopped over on my bug and it took me a few tries to get it back in order. Day2: Sadly, too much QRM in the pen to play

W4QDV, Dave, GA, 5w fpqso1=3, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 9 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk40 Total: 9
Not the best conditions--QSB, QRN but was fortunate to find KT4WA "Izzy" in FL, WB9HFK "Mark" in IL, and AA2YO "Gene" in NJ. Thanks for the QSOs, friends! OO .. Dave

This is my second time trying your contest, and I have enjoyed it very much.

Had about 10 minutes on the first night. Got three FP member QSOs and one who called after the bell chimed. Sounded like good activity. 73/72, John, K4BAI.

Day 1 band a bit ruff. I was pleased Mark WB9HFK was there and NM to IL qso panned out!
Day 2 band pretty gud, but SSB prevalent. Again, Mark WB9HFK was out there, calling CQ in the "open spots" -- Solid QSO. Also had nice QSO with non-pig Bob KD7RH. CU folks nxt month! Jim KC5GWU oo

Lots of QRN here. I only managed one contact, but it was fun none the less! Thanks to WB0CJB for your patience and for pulling me out of the noise. Running an Index Labs QRP+ to a doublet. 72, Patrick KF4LMZ OO

This was my first attempt at a Flying Pigs event. Operated from 0000 to 0030 only on Wednesday (or was it actually the start of Thursday?). My one contact was with my son, Jevon, k6ylh, who lives about 200 miles south of me. He knew I'd be on so sought me out. I heard two other stations on the band between 7.050 and 7.065, but their signals were too faint for me to copy. 73, Larry
