Pig Rig #147 - First QSO just now
random.path
Just finished a QSO with KY0O on 7.0307 in Kansas City - he on his HW9. I sent him to the Pig Rig site, he was not familiar with it.
Putting out between 3 and 4 watts he gave me a 599. Thanks to Terry's label, it is a nice looking pig too. Chip AE5KA

Not too long ago Diz was down to 15 kits left . Does
anyone know if he sold out this run ?
171 is ready to put the crystal sockets in , but I am
going to wait until I can check both sets at the same time .
Dug the FT-707S out and moved it so now I have a QRP rig
on every desk that has a desktop computer on it .
Still using my SPIDERS out at the farm , so now I am
pretty much set to run QRP CW anywhere I am at.
The pig rig will allow me high power out at the farm . I
will have 40,30 and 20 out there , so I am looking forward to finding
someone with an 80 meter SPIDER they are willing to part with or maybe go with
the next pig rig for 80 meters .

I am happy to hear that you got the "Flying Pig Rig" on the air. We need to set up a Sked in the next week or so. Terry does a great job with the label software. hope to heat you on the air soon. es 72 Johnny AC0BQ

Hi Johnny -

That would be great. Anxious to meet snout to snout with some more Pigs! As for the picture, Terry, I'm waiting for a suitable knob to finish it off and I'll send in a picture. All the knobs in my junk box are for half-moon style shafts, not round ones. Found some nice ones on Ebay, though, and we'll just have to wait for the slow boat from China. Chip AE5KA
