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.
