    Looking forward to it as I do every year. 13 Colonies is a close second to Museum Ships Weekend for me.

    Great event as much 4th of July as fireworks, hot dogs, and bug bites.

    I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I really miss having Pat WA6MHZ chime in on this thread :( Between 13 Colonies and Route 66, Pat annually reconnected with the fun of ham radio like some of us can only feign that level :)

    Is there any special logsheet required? I can't remember and the website is down.
    What info is required besides the call? Time? Band(s)?

    Could not agree more...Nothing against the Zed...but since Pat has gone "qrz silent"..its
    just not the same or as much fun...
    His story telling...while irking some of the Old curmudgeons...was a source
    of enjoyment for me, and after a long day at work,
    gave me something to look forward too...
    I liked reading his various posts on many subjects...
    (mostly about Black widders and his prized fine collection of ham gear)
    Best part of ARRL 100 year anniversary was getting to meet and chat
    with him in person in Hartford,and Newington, CT.

    List the days and times that the activators will be on like the Lewis and Clark on the Air. That way we be sure we are working the real station instead of a fake station.
