Well piggies, another dry nite in the mudhole. 20m. was dead & 40 not much better here in WNY. 80m was producing some grunts & squeels. Merry Christmas & Good DX in 2010 to all us piggies! 72

It was a rather slow evening on a cold night here in rural Southern IL.

IC 756 pII with dipole, inv. vee, and inv. el for 40/80/160 respectively. 40 was very weird, and mostly empty. Worked K3MD on 80 and 160, but couldn't hear him on 40. Most of the QSOs ended up on 80 meters. Season's Greetings and Vy 72,
Oink Oink! MarC
K4BAI, John T. Laney III, 5W fpqso=6 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=4 spc=9 total=198
FT1000MP, 5W output, zepp, inverted vee. Got home from a Christmas concert with 48 minutes left in the Sprint. 40M had no Sprint activity, but W2JEK was 599 with his QRP from NJ. After no answers to CQs there, I moved to 80, which was fair. I was able to work as far north as NH and ON and as far west as TX. Worked everyone I heard on 80 for a total of nine on that band. Thanks for the QSOs. Hope for more activity next month. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. 73, John, K4BAI.
ng7z, Paul, 5W fpqso=5 fpdxqso=0 nonfpqso=1 spc=5 total=80
Started out on 40M and got 3 q's in 7 minutes. CQ'd for 20 minutes with no more answers. Switched to 80M and listened but nothing found in the qrp area so I CQ'd for awhile with no answers. Came back at 0300Z and found N9NX but he couldn't hear me. CQ'd for awhile and got an answer from K0MC. N9NX finally heard me and we worked. Final QSO was K9QH and 0343Z and by that time my eardrums were toast. The low bands have not been nice to qrp for a few weeks. Bill, W7KXB who lives just south of me was the qrp fox on 40M and he only had four q's. It was awful. I see by the current results that K3MD is tops with only 9 qsos. Looks like we all were struggling this month. I'll try again next month. Ya'll have a nice Christmas and New Year. CU during SKN I hope. 72 Paul NG7Z

K1 @ 5W into 40m EFHW sloping down from 30 ft Jackite. Band pretty quiet, thought that new sunspot would help more. Good to hear two folks testing the waters. 73 and MC&HNY all!
