It was great to hear some of the regulars for me, K9QEW, WB0CJB, and WB9HFK. It was also great to make two first time ever contacts with KD9RFR and N3AZB! Thanks to both of them for being patient to pull me out. Oink Oink!

WB0CJB, Paul, TN, 5W fpqso1=4, dxqso1=0, nonfpqso1=0, Day_1_Total= 12 fpqso2=2, dxqso2=0, nonfpqso2=0, Day_2_Total= 6 , PigWalk40 Total: 18
The first night Illinois was well represented, followed by Indiana. Piggies WB9HFK, K9QEW, W9DWR, and KD9RFR were worked.
The second night I worked WB9HFK and W9DWR. I tried to work N3AZB but I was too weak for him to copy. With the phone QRM and digital interference taking up more of the 7110-7125 space maybe we need to move to the 7061-7065 kHz frequency?

WB9HFK, W9DWR and K9QEW, thanks you guys! Later....
DAY TWO Thanks to the regulars WB9HFK and K9QEW for the QSO'S. Threw in the towel after 0230, too much noise, QRM, some phone(?) I like Paul's (WB0CJB) idea of relocating the barnyard south, 7.060-7.065. See'ya ! Dave

Wednesday was a good night. At first, I heard nothing on the bands, but then heard a couple guys having a qso around 7055. I listened, then went back to CQing. Then returned to 7055 and heard the two just wrapping up. I called the stronger guy, Dave in southern CA. He heard me an we had a qso1
A few minutes later, to my surprise, I heard a fellow piggie, David, K6FA, also in southern CA, calling CQ FP! We worked! It was a thrill.
On Thursday evenings we have a slow-speed cw net locally so that left only 20 minutes for the pig walk. But I was lucky enough to work Mike, WA6ARA, who was QRP from a remote cabin in the Sierras!
