13 Colonies Special Event
I will be operating K2A this week as a representative of NY for the event and hope to work some of the satellites during the week from FN03. I'm still a newbie but I have a pair of eggbeaters up and can work the linear or FM sats when everything cooperates. I will post on the AMSAT-NA Facebook group and will use twitter @AMSAT when I know I'll be on.

I'll also be operating for this event on sats. I'll be using callsign K2J representing North Carolina. I hope to work at least a pass or two and I'll send an email to the list when I know what pass[es] I'll be on.

Add me to the list, I'll be operating as K2F representing Maryland from FM18. Will be on as many passes I can both FM and Linear.

I just finished listening to a SO-50 which I was going to try to work as K2A if I could get in. I've only worked FM birds a couple of times before and I remember it being busy but that was just stupid. I'll either try off hours or stick to linear sats. Not to start something but man I hope we can get some higher orbit linear satellites again :-(

I heard you at least once, early in the pass. I tried calling you from K2J as that would be a fun colony to colony contact.
The pass was fairly hectic. Sorry you experienced that. It unfortunately is not uncommon on FM passes, and yes, that is why some prefer linear sats.
I will say it is not always that bad and sometimes a lot of people will make a lot of contacts and when it's really orderly it is actually impressive to hear how so many people can share such a limited resource.

Hi Dave, if we can get the 13 Colonies event back to where it was when we had a solid 13 colony precipitation on the sats it will become a 'rare grid level event' on the FM birds. I remember working 24 stations on a single AO-27 pass from Delaware in 2012 and nobody complained! Hang in there, better 13 colony things are coming...
