| A magnificent NEW, full color, 8 1/2"x11", certificate, printed on heavy card stock, with a map and the state flags of all the 1776 colony states, adorns this award. You can work one state or, all 13 and, be eligible for the certificate. | |||||
| Each colony state worked will be marked by the Purple Heart Medal. Also a special "Contact" logo will be affixed if you worked one or all 13 stations. A "Clean Sweep" indicator will also be affixed, for those lucky enough to "Q" all 13. | |||||
| Special event call signs will be used (K2A Thru K2M). | |||||
| All modes of operation should be represented-SSB, CW, RTTY,SATELLITE, Et. - The mode of operation is up to the individual colony state station. | |||||
| Each OP is to send a contact log stating the Date, UTC, Band, & call sign of each contact, and a BLANK QSL CARD +$4.00 US. (to help defray printing costs). PLEASE NO STAMPS. NO SASE required. We will furnish postage, certificate and 9"x12" envelope via 1st class mail. The certificate will NOT be folded. | |||||
| You may print out a log form for your use from our website (see below). | |||||
| K2A (NY-KU2US) will issue a special event QSL card for a QSO with K2A for those Ops that request one in lieu of the certificate. SASE Please for QSL card only. | |||||
| All award requests and payment to be sent and made out to the award manager-KU2US (Address on QRZ.com). | |||||
| All bands will be in play except the WARC bands and 60 meters. The Colony stations will be operating on or near the"13" of each band (Eg.14.213, 14.013,14.313, 7.213, 7.013, et.). 2 meters and 6 meter simplex are encouraged. | |||||
| The SE stations are on the east coast and, are very close to each other. It will be harder for these states to contact each other, also 40m-160m is encouraged because of this. | |||||
| The SE will begin July 1st at 1300 and end July 6th at 0400 UTC. | |||||
| This SE will be annual each year, with a different spectacular multi-color certificate for variety - be sure to collect all issues. This is going to be fun, and hopefully the propagation gods will be co-operative - BETTER THAN 2009 :) | |||||
