Day 1 very noisy due to the severe weather in TN. Worked K9QEW, KO4BHX, N2TNN, and non-FP K4FZO and K4KYN. Day 2 the band was quieter but several SSB and digital stations between 7110 and 7116. I did work WB9HFK, KB9BVN, K9QEW, W4NLT and non-FP KD7RH. Thanks to all! 72 es OO de Paul WB0CJB

Fun, but tough conditions on 40M both days. QRN and QSB. Three Piggies on day 1,thanks to WB0CJB, AA2YO and KJ4MZ for contacts. One non-piggie. Seemed less noisy on day 2 but had more trouble finding contacts. Thanks to AA2YO again for only FP QSO, one DX and one non piggie were the only other catches. RBN to Germany and France however :)
EDIT: looks like I need to RTFM, was using the Day 1 Freqs on Day 2, might explain the difficulty finding - will know better next time!

Day 1: Didn't even try to get on the air because of nearby Tstorms and Lightning.
Day 2: Thanks to fellow Piggies WB0CJB, AA2YO, N5ZN and W4NLT and non Member KD7RH for the QSO's! Lot's of QRM and QRN to dodge up around 7120 khz but always fun!

Day 1-Band very short. Lots of spots on RBN out to 350 miles. Thanks to piggies N2TNN and KO4BHX for the contacts. You both had strong signals into SWNJ. Heard WB0CJB but could not connect. Day 2-The walk was all over the band tonight. Saw more piggie stations on the RBN around 7.040 MHZ than around 7.123 MHZ. Worked WB9HFK at 7.120 MHZ and KO4BHX at 7.060 MHZ both with strong signals. Also heard K9QEW but could not make the contact. Saw several other piggies on the RBN but could hear them.

Day 1 Band was not good with the noise but did find WB0CJB and AA2YO for a QSO. My club meeting is next Wednesday so I was free to play today. Will not be on for Day 2, QRP Fox hunt tonight and I will be the FOX. Maybe see yall next month.
