SUMMARY:13 Colonies Special Event
DESCRIPTION:This is an annual event to commemorate the 13 original colonies and our declared independence around July 4th.  Since 2026 is the 250th year, this just might be a pretty special year.  The intent is make contacts with special event stations in the original 13 colonies, and then bonus stations in Philadelphia, Great Britain and France.\nIn 2025, the coordinator for PA had been communicating with us about possibly being one of the stations for PA.  If you’d be interested in operating on a schedule, I can get that information to you.\nAll HF bands will be in play, including the WARC bands, with the exception of 60 meters. Simplex on 2 meters and 6 meters is encouraged.\nThe SE stations are on the east coast and, are very close to each other. It will be harder for these states to contact each other so, use of 40m-160m is encouraged.\nAll modes of operation may be represented – SSB, CW, RTTY, Digital, Etc. – The mode of operation is up to the individual colony state station. Please refer to the State information pages for details.\nThe 13 Colonies Special Event is a not for profit event. All donations are used to fund the next years event, and to defray any expenses occurred.\nExchange:\nThe exchange for this event is:\nCALL SIGN\nRS / RST / RSQ\nSTATE / PROVINCE or COUNTRY\n
