<font face="Verdana">Greetings BARSians,<br>
<br>
Back in 2022 when I was a freshly minted ham the 13 Colonies Event
was my first exposure to 'special event stations' (SES). I was
excited by the chase for all 16 stations (the original 13 US
colonies plus 3 bonus stations) and was able to get a clean
sweep! It was my first paper certificate so it, and the event,
holds a special place in my heart.<br>
<br>
This year I'm honored to be one of the stations operating as K2H
representing Mass. during the 13 Colonies event. The event runs
from July 1st through the 7th with operations on all HF bands
(excluding 60m), as well as 2 and 6 meters simplex. I don't yet
have a schedule for my freqs & modes (I'll be doing SSB &
digital including RTTY).<br>
<br>
