The 13 Colonies will have TWO Bonus Stations: Our old friends WM3PEN will participate from Philadelphia, PA, where independence was declared. The 13 Colonies certificate
will have a Liberty Bell added for a contact with WM3PEN. WM3PEN will be on D-STAR and Fusion each evening from 7-11 PM Eastern Time (2300Z-0300Z). Click on the WM3PENbutton to the left for details. GB13COL will operate from Durham, England. Click on the GB13COL button to the left for details and QSL information. For a contact with GB13COL the certificate endorsement will be the «British Standard».
QRP Operations
The 13 Colonies Special Event enlisted one dedicated SSB/CW QRP operator for each state for the 2014 event and beyond. No special station requirements, except the operator must be a General class or higher. We want to give the low power QRP station a chance to get a 13 Colony States «Clean Sweep» endorsement on your certificate. We know the thrill of a QRP station breaking a pile up, but with 200+ QRO/and higher stations in a pile up, well, most of the times +/-5 watts just wont work.
Spotting
If you work a colony station, you are encouraged to spot it for others.
We suggest DX Summit.
