Started on 20 which was in pretty good shape here. Moved to 40 where there was a lot of activity from the VAQP but down around 7.030 it was pretty quiet. No two-banders with anyone but it was nice to hear some familiar calls and work some new ones. Thanks for the Qs. RIP #1. 72 es OO, Will, NQ2W

AA2YO, Gene, 5 W fpqso=11 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=6 spc=11 total=429
More piggies out to play than I have ever seen. Lots of strong signals and too many to name but thanks to all. Most of the signals tonight were from the East Coast. I think Brian's email may have stirred up the barnyard and drawn the piggies out. Thanks Brian. Managed to work KT4WA on both 20 and 40 meters.
K4KBL, Jerry Pereira, 5 watts fpqso=12 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=9 total=324

KA2KGP, Tom, 5w fpqso=9 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=2 spc=8 total=232
I wish I could have worked BH3OQQ, LIU TAO on 20, but as Bob, WB1GZY said "Contesters ruled the pigsty" hi hi.
All bands were poor here in the WNY pig pen. Not many oinkers heard. RIP W8DIZ/SK. OO & 72
W2LJ , Larry, 5W fpqso=5 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=4 spc=8 total=152
First RFTB in a while. Wasted too much time on 20 Meters, where I heard only K4KBL. 40 Meters was good, then I had a weekly SSB net that I check into at 0000 UTC. Came back after that to hear 40 Meters crowded with SST stations. Went up to 80 Meters and worked Tom KA2KGP. Thanks to all it was a bunch of fun! Rig here was a KX3 to a W3EDP antenna.
KT4WA, Izzy, 5w fpqso=6 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=1 spc=7 total=133

What a blast
K9QEW, Daryl, 5 fpqso=5 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=5 total=75
20 meters seemed to be the best band since 40m had heavy
QRM from other contests. K4KBL had big signal. 72/73s

N3AZB, Dennis, 5 watts fpqso=6 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=4 total=72
Started on 20 meters. Heard lots of piggies calling but many were sending too fast for me to get their call sign. Managed to work K9QEW on 20 then moved on to 40 meters. Worked KD2YMM,
AA2YO, WB1GYZ, KI4DBK, and KF4GNV. KF4GNV was particularly hard.
AK3X, Peter, 5W fpqso=6 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=0 spc=4 total=72
One QSO on 20. Moved to 40 which was in good shape but full of QSO party participants and the SST. RIG ICOM 7300 at 5 watts measured to a inv vee with 300 ohm feed and tuner.

40m was in great shape tonight, but unfortunately contest stations ruled the pigsty.
