[TVARC] "13 Colonies" Special Event 2023

[Tim Leonard]

I post this to encourage others in the club who may be hesitant to get on HF SSB or CW due to antenna limitations.

I did a clean sweep on SSB using a Ham Stick stuck next to my A/C and 100 watts.  Also a clean sweep CW on 20 meters.  
No, it was not "Easy Peasy", but it was a lot of fun.  

You do not need a great antenna, lots of power or even FT8 to operate and enjoy HF.  You do have to pick up the mic or the key and transmit.

  Good morning all

This has been the 6th year doing the 13 colonies and sadly the first not being part of K2H. Note: there was also a POTA activation from the USS Constitution.
This year to challenge the new digs here in TV did it all QRP, The K4 and 6BTV worked fantastically getting through the constant pile-ups

Have a great day
