    Annual 13 Colonies Event Gets Under Way on July 1

06/30/2020

The annual *13 Colonies* <http://www.13colonies.us/> special event will 
begin on July 1 at 1300 UTC and conclude on July 8 at 0400 UTC. Stations 
representing the original 13 British colonies, plus two bonus stations, 
will be on the air with 1 × 1 call signs. The event sponsor stresses 
that participants do not need to work all 13 colony stations to obtain a 
certificate and do not need to work the two bonus stations for a clean 
sweep. All HF bands will be in play, with the exception of 60 meters, 
and simplex on 2 and 6 meters is encouraged. All modes of operation may 
be represented.

  * This year will mark the 12th occurrence of the event. Look for:
  * K2A, New York
  * K2B, Virginia
  * K2C, Rhode Island
  * K2D, Connecticut
  * K2E, Delaware
  * K2F, Maryland
  * K2G, Georgia
  * K2H, Massachusetts
  * K2I, New Jersey
  * K2J, North Carolina
  * K2K, New Hampshire
  * K2L, South Carolina
  * K2M, Pennsylvania.

Bonus station WM3PEN will be in Philadelphia (the call sign commemorates 
the Pennsylvania colony’s founder, William Penn). The other bonus 
station will be GB13COL in the UK.
