    I've got them all in the bag except GB13COL. They are apparently on 20 CW this morning, but I have not heard a peep. Looking at the DX cluster, it seems a number of folks are struggling to get through.

    I would have a clean sweep if I get 'em. And if K2I would do CW, I would have a clean sweep via CW.

    Oh well, it's fun no matter the outcome.

    CLEAN SWEEP U.S.A. on CW (except for GB13COL) - GB13COL now working EXTRA's only on 14011 (NO chance for Advanced or Generals) :(

    Even being an Extra, I've yet to hear more than a single dit out of them. West coast might be hosed, but we'll see.

    On a happy note, I just snagged K2I on 20 CW for a clean sweep of everything (except GB) via CW. SO I got that going for me LOL

    West Coast is ALWAYS SOL on the GB13COL. Maybe some of the top contestors with SuperStations can get thru with their 13 Element 20 Meter beams, but not me on a G5RV!

    From what I read on the 13 Colonies site, you don't need WM3PEN or GB13COL to qualify for the "Clean Sweep" certificate. I think those are "Extra Points" stations.

    See lower left corner of certificate - "All 13 Colony States Clean Sweep" :)

    Pileups have been crazy. I haven't logged a single station. :(

    K2M is currently being spotted on both 20 and 40 meters, but I'm not hearing them here (Wyoming). I snagged them last night on 40 CW and they were rocking and rolling through the pileup pretty quickly

    I've heard western stations calling him on the bottom of 20 for the last couple of days, but not a speck of sig here. I think the GB was my last for all 2 yrs ago, and that was the only time I hrd him, ever.

    Are you familiar with DXSummit spotting site? Good place to see where K2M may be hiding.
    Good Luck

    Just a thought here. Have your operators call by call groups AA1,BA2, CA3, DA4... etc. and avoid the pileups. You are able to minimize the pile up instead of a free for all. 73

    K2M is loud and clear (for me anyway) on 14.030 at the time of this post. Not much of a pileup either.

    Got my first 13 colonies contact the other night with a wire strung over a tree limb on my FT-450D. Super fun--Spoke with K2F in Maryland. Hi, Randy!
