We will be hosting a special Zoom Webinar on June 15th for the 13
Colonies Special Event.
The annual Original 13 Colonies Special Event will mark its 12th
anniversary this year. The event gets underway on July 1 at 1300 UTC
and runs through July 8 at 0400 UTC. Special event stations with 1 × 1
call signs will represent the original 13 US colonies, including K2M in
Pennsylvania, plus bonus stations WM3PEN in Philadelphia and GB13COL in
Durham, England. Participating stations try to contact at least one or
all 13 Colony Stations plus the two bonus stations. Earn a nice
certificate and collect unique QSL cards.
WM3PEN trustee, Bob Josuweit, WA3PZO, will talk about the 13 Colonies
Special Event and WM3PEN’s participation over the past 10 years, and
efforts to get hams, who do not have HF capability, involved with
special event operations. He will also discuss how incoming QSL card
requests have opened up doors to talk about ham radio to people who are
not familiar with the hobby.
Join us Monday, June 15, at 7:30 PM for a presentation on the 13
Colonies Special Event.
Registration for this event is necessary. Email w3gwm@arrl.org to
