Thanks to WB9HFK, AA2YO, N8IE, and NN9K for the contacts.
The first time NN9K and I made contact, we both disappeared in the QRN. A few minutes later he came booming in and I caught him that time. I enjoyed the evening despite the QRN.
See you tomorrow evening.
Day 2: Thanks to WB9HK, KA2KGP, W4NLT, and AA2YO for the QSOS this evening. Thanks to those who stayed with me when I asked for repeats. Noise was heavy tonight, but I enjoyed the event.

Started out with a "senior moment".. After 5mins of not being able to make contacts, realized I was in VOX mode (not on air). However had fun working 2 new piggies - Andy/W4NLT and Joe/K3YES. Wrangled faithful Gene/AA2YO. I did chase Mark/WB9HFK as he ran around, couldn't catch him. Lots of static with our seasonal thunderstorms here in North Central Florida. 72

Had fun, worked 2 piggies and one SKCC member.
Ken thanks for hanging in there, had to be the QSO of the night!
Tonight I ran "Little Boy", tomorrow night I'll be running "Fat Man". These are HB tube QRP transmitters using a 6AQ5 tube. "Little Boy" is a 40M TX and "Fat Man" is a 40/80M version of the same design.
See you tomorrow night!
