13 Colonies Special Event July 1 - 7

The static crashes are brutal on 40m this evening. Kudos to the fella from New Jersey who tried working me on 7249. Thanks for trying.

edit: QSO!! Just moments after my post. Thanks! Almost there….

 

K2C on 7.035 CW now.

 

Frustrating waiting for K2G to send some FT8 into Eastern MA. Seen many stations in 3 4 5 and 8 call district working them but nothing from the 1 2 call district yet.

 

Unreachable from 5 land

 

Just spotted on 18.104 ..... FT-4

 

I've worked all 13 colonies as well as the Philedelphia station, but have yet to even hear GB or France. Any idea if those guys are even participating this year?

 

Yes they are. TM13COL is on CW everyday. GB13COL is on SSB, CW and the FT's. Use the Cluster and see where they are.

 

TM13COL is on 40m FT8, seeing them pretty regular atvthe moment

 

Yes. I had a clean sweep Tuesday, including the Bonus Stations.
Yes I looked at dxsummit.fi for spots.
Yes I did have to go past 100 watts for a couple contacts... Oh the Humanity!! Not qrp?? LOL NO!!! no Qrp here!!

 

Not sure I care for the tone of the replies I've gotten from my query, but I am aware of the cluster and have monitored it for days. I've been running 100w even though I do love working QRP here by the sea. Alternately, in the spirit of cooperation and positivity, have you guys checked out a new cluster called The Holy Cluster? It has a radically modern UI and even integrates CAT control so you can jump to the frequency right from the website. I refuse to be a complete dickhead to strangers asking earnest questions on this website. Thanks for your time and sorry to have insulted your obvious dominance over this endeavor.

 

K2G ha been a pain for me

 

K2C and K2E for me. The bands haven’t been favorable for GB and TM either, but that’s not unusual considering my location.

My personal preference is SSB.

 

Yea, K2C's schedule and mine seem to be directly opposed. I'll keep working on GB and TM, but it doesn't like it's going to happen. It's a nice event though, the perfect way to recover from field day.

 

Wow with work I forgot about this and try get a clean sweep every year. Oh well maybe next year!

 

Sorry I was not trying to be a jerk, but after thinking about your reply, it is obvious my reply was in bad taste and I apologize.
