The 13 Colonies special event returns to the satellites this year. All 13 colonies have at least 1 operator, so there is an opportunity for a clean sweep.
More information can be found here (website is down this morning) http://www.13colonies.us/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/13colonies
The event starts *July 1 and runs through July 7th*. The object is to work and log all 13 K2X special event calls. K2A through K2M. There will also be a WM3PEN bonus station. If you send in your event sheet you will get a certificate.
Stations will be mostly working linear satellites throughout the week on SSB. A few stations will also be working CW and FT4. FM sat passes will be very limited as to not add to the congestion.
If you are an FM only satop, we will post the special event call to satop mapping for possible skeds closer to the event. The operators that do have twitter may also post FM passes, so be sure to follow them.
