Default 13 Colonies Special Event

Well I got sucked into this event.

Had not planned on working this, but got one or two contacts and then it was "wonder if I can get them all" and then the game was on....

Wound up finishing last night. Worked all 13 and the two "special" stations for a total of 15. Most contacts were on 15m and 40m.

Will start compiling all of the paperwork today for the certificate and QSL cards.

The girls decided last night, after I announced my completion, they would try for some of them as well. Just looked at their logs and they both got 8 of the stations in a couple of hours. They could very well get them all by the end of the contest tonight (sure does help to have a YL voice...).

Anyone else working this event? Was kinda addictive once I started. Not bad for my old Icom IC-740 and a homemade dipole antenna....
