Maybe VE1/VA1 stations could be rebellious New England Planters and be listed as a bonus station?

 

Ask Ken

He manages the special event. KU2US.

 

I just sent him an email.....

Possible Bonus Station, maybe.

 

Even as a relatively interested and avid history nerd I was not aware of this. It seems like an outstanding bonus station--we already have ENGLAND, of all places, as a bonus station... So why not Nova Scotia? It becomes a teachable opportunity for everyone, and also, as always, more stations = more contacts = more fun!

 

I think Vermont was 14.

Are you replying to the correct thread? If you are, would you care to explain?

From my perspective, a historical discussion of the history of the revolutionary war as relates specifically to a ham radio event relating to same isn't political. This specific apolitical discussion isn't even a particularly controversial one.

 

Er, it was tongue-in-cheek...
