    yep... got mine yesterday. Nice looking certificate. Mine had the endorsement; "ALL CW" & "In Honer Of Our Veterans"

    I wonder how many ops were able to snag GB13COL ? (NOT me) :(

    Thanks KEN/KU2US (and all of the other ops) for a really enjoyable special event. Kudos

    From a first-time activator's viewpoint, this was a lot of coordination among about a dozen hams all around the state. There is a schedule and we would volunteer for specific time slots. As so often, life interferes with ham radio and sometimes people couldn't do their assigned slot. It's fun to see when someone else jumps in. We all wanted to be on the air, across as many bands and modes possible, for as long as possible. In between my on-air stints, I also researched 10 fun historical facts to add to my CQ / QRZ's when there weren't big pile-ups, "this is K2B, in Virginia, birthplace of Patrick Henry, who famously said ...". That sort of thing. What a great event. Thanks to Ken and the K2B honchos. And all the great hams who participated.
