Thanks piggies WB0CJB, WB9HFK, WA4ZOF, W0ITT, KI8FV, W4KAC, and non-member N2DGQ. Quiet band and some really nice QRP sigs this evening.

Glad to be back participating in this again, after nearly a year of having schedule conflicts. Thanks to WA4ZOF, KI9FV, WD9EGW, K5KGK, and K8ZFJ. I heard one other station on Day 2, which was too weak to copy.

WB9CYY, Don, WI, 5W fpqso1=3, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 9 fpqso2=3, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 9 , PigWalk40 Total: 18
Oh my word, after seeing that I mistyped my callsign at the top of my report, I wonder how my fatigue affected my on-the-air efforts! Thanks (again) to WA4ZOF, KI8FV, WD9EGW, K5KGK, and K8ZFJ.

WB0CJB, Paul, TN, 5 fpqso1=4, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=2, Day_1_Total= 14 fpqso2=1, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=1, Day_2_Total= 4 , PigWalk40 Total: 18
Day 1 netted piggies K4NE, WB9HFK, KI8FV, W0ITT, and non-FP KG4KGL and KM4KY. Day 2 I only worked K8ZFJ and non-FP K5KZQ. Conditions on day 1 weren't too bad but QRM from the non-US and digital stations didn't help. Day although the band was quieter and less QRM some signals were very weak (K8ZFJ) yet K5KZQ was strong. Still, a good sprint. 72 es oo Paul WB0CJB

I got four piggies. I love doing this I'm surprised how well QRP works. Now that I'm retired I hope to get to do this more. Had a great time. But according to the web page there should be a second part Thursday night. But I don't hear anything on the assigned frequencies. I'll Try to catch you on the 20 m night. 72s, Steve, ki8fv

Day 1: Thanks to Mark WB9HFK and Don WB9CYY for the QSOs.
Day 2: Zero luck. Heavy buzzing/roaring noise here tonight. I heard AA2YO for a couple seconds and that was it. I saw WB9HFK AND WB9CYY on the RBN but could not hear them.
Looking forward to next time.
72, Chuck

Day 1: Was able to pull out WB0CJB & WB9HFK, but they couldn't hear me on my end-fed wire. Will try again tomorrow evening. As always, thanks to all the piggies for the fun event.
Day 2: Got one! Thanks Don, WB9CYY.

Welp, couldn't play 2nd night and 1st night I only bagged 1 piggie--TU Mark WB9HFK!  Then I was a truly bad piggie and mistakenly entered his callsign instead of mine in the autologger, swiping from him his ability to proclaim his own pigwalk triumphs.  SRI Mark!  Just went back in and changed the email associated with that log link to yours.  Hope you got the autologger link as a result and can fill out your true report.  I again hang my curly tail in shame.

N2TNN, Dean, VA, 5W fpqso1=0, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 0 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk40 Total: 0
I caught Mark WB9HFK right at the wire and he said "your late NO BACON for you"
Meeting took too long..... sri more tomorrow

WB9HFK, Mark, IL,  fpqso1=0, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 0 fpqso2=0, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 0 , PigWalk40 Total: 0
Mark, this is W5TTA trying to fix my mistake (I think I entered your callsign instead of mine when I initially pulled up the autologger link--I must have had our QSO on my brain! So SRI). So anyway, I replaced my email with what appears to be your email in the log updater, hoping to return the link to you so you can fill it out.
