13 Colonies Event

The annual 13 Colonies Special Event took place July 1 - July 7. This year’s theme was “Revolutionary War Era Colonial Currency.” 

Special events stations were K2A (New York), K2B (Virginia), K2C (Rhode Island), K2D (Connecticut), K2E (Delaware), K2F (Maryland), K2G (Georgia), K2H (Massachusetts), K2I (New Jersey), K2J (North Carolina), K2K (New Hampshire), K2L (South Carolina) and K2M (Pennsylvania).

This year, more than 108,000 contacts were made during the 13 Colonies Special Event. On my first attempt, I am happy to report that I contacted all 13 colonies, to earn a certificate with a "Clean Sweep" endorsement.  Yeah!  For me, as a new ham, contacting 13 colonies also means 13 new states toward my WAS (Worked all States). Pretty sweet.

First thing we noticed upon arriving at Field Day sight was the
elaborate "antenna farm" for such a remote location.
