[bars] Two special events this week - 13 Colonies & WWA

[Tim/K1DC]

If you didn't have enough fun last weekend during Field Day there are 
two events running this week to feed your addict...  err.. radio hobby.

- 13 Colonies ( http://www.13colonies.us/ ).  This event has been around 
awhile and is very popular!  There are teams representing each of the 13 
original colonies plus 3 'bonus' stations.  The goal is contact each of 
them at least once during the week long event.  It is in progress now 
and runs through July 7 Midnight (Eastern time).

- World Wide Award ( https://hamaward.cloud/wwa/award ).  This is a new 
event patterned after the month long event in Jan.  It runs for 7 days 
(Jun 30-Jul 6).  The goal is to contact as many of the activating 
stations (there are over 100 teams all over the world) on any band, any 
mode, every day!  The scoring is done in real time so you can be sure 
you contact made it into the log.  I believe this is the future of ham 
radio contesting.

I'll be activating both events (Yeah, I'm a glutton) at various times 
over the week.

73 and have fun!
