[TVARC] 13 Colonies

[Robert Schwer]

Congratulations, Tony. Nice job.

I worked 30 of the stations, including the WM3PEN bonus station in Philadelphia. I never did hear GB13COL in England. My goal was a clean sweep on CW on both 40 and 20 meters.  I missed connecting with a NJ Station for my clean sweep and had to resort to working Rhode Island on SSB. It’s a great event and my third year participating.

I also worked the IARU this weekend and the SKCC Weekend Sprint. I managed 60 IARU CW contacts on 40 and 20 meters, including two new countries for me from TV; Lithuania and Austria. 

SKCC was tough because of all the IARU stations on the air, but, I managed 15 contacts and picked up four new contacts toward my Tribune x 8 (400 unique members). Almost there. I wound up in the middle of the pack of reporting stations. 

I utilized all three keys this weekend, my Begali Spark, my N3ZN paddle and my Kent SP-1 sideswiper key.

Have a great week….. Bob, K3ZGA
