I like this event a lot.Dan

Once again, the 13 ColoniesÂ*Special Event will take place between 1300z,
July 1st and 0400z July 7th.Â*The certificate is printed on heavy card
stock. Stations working one stateÂ*or, as many as all 15, will be eligible
for the certificate. A Clean SweepÂ*indicator will be affixed, for those
lucky enough to Q all 15. A specialÂ*endorsement will be attached for
stations contacting their sister operation, WM3PEN, in Philadelphia, PA,
where independence was declared. NewÂ*since 2015, the 13 Colonies have added
a second sister event station GB13COLÂ*will operate from Durham, England.
The 13 Colonies certificate will have aÂ*Liberty Bell added for a contact
with WM3PEN. They will also offer a specialÂ*QSL card printed just for this
event. There should be at least two stationsÂ*from each on the 13 colonies
on the air, as well as Super contest stations,Â*multi-operator Club stations
and OM and XYL teams. The thirteen orginal U.S. colonies are CT-DE-
GA-MA-MD-NC-NH-NJ-NY-PA-RI-SC-VA. Special eventsÂ*stations mentioned a
