Now in its 18th year the event has grown from Special Event Stations making approximately 12\,000 contacts to last year making 292\, 496 contacts around the world. The Event runs from July 1 9:00 AM -July 7 Midnight Eastern (July 1 – 1300 UTC – July 8 – 0400 UTC). \nThis year the 13 Colonies Special Event organizers are recognizing America’s sesquicentennial by featuring many locations where the Declaration of Independence was first read in their city or colony \nThe Special Event consist of one station operating in each of the 13 Colonies (K2A – K2M) and three bonus stations (WM3PEN – Philadelphia\, GB13COL – England\, TM13COL – France). Each representing their city\, state\, or country’s role in America’s Colonial period. All stations will be offering a special QSL card. A few stations are offering special events within the Special Event. North Carolina’s K2J team says to stay tuned to their Facebook and QRZ page. Philadelphia’s WM3PEN is participating in both the 13 Colonies Special Event as well as the World Soccer Tournament Special Event\, Stations who work WM3PEN July 1 -7 will get credit for both events and with a QSL request will get a special qsl card for each event. \nHam Radio operators and SWLs can participate in the event. Complete information about the call for each colony station and the bonus stations can be found on the event website 13colonies.us and they can follow us on Facebook – 13 Colonies Special Event Community. Stations need only make one contact with one of the participating stations or they can go for a Clean Sweep and work all 13 Colony stations and the 3 bonus stations. This year certificates can be downloaded\, or ordered online or by mail. Operators can keep an eye out for the special event stations by watching many of the dx spotting networks such as DXSummit.fi.
