(K2B)-CT (K2D)-DE (K2E)-MD (K2F)-MA (K2H)-NC (K2J) 1300 UTC July 1st to
0400 UTC July 5th 2009, all thirteen 1776 original colonies will be on

printed on heavy card stock or parchment paper, with a map and the state
flags of all the 1776 colony states will be available to to each station
who works one or more or ALL of the Special Event stations. Each colony
state worked will be marked by the shield of the United States by each
state flag. Special event call signs will be used.
All bands will be in play except 60M and the WARC bands. The Colony
stations will be operating on or near the "13" of each band (Eg.14.213,
14.313, 7.213, et.). 2 meter and 6 meter simplex is encouraged. For this
event 2 meter repeater contacts WILL be allowed - WHY? because all of
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.
