13 Colonies Special Event

There’s a 13 Colonies radio special event celebrating the 4th of July.  I’ve enjoyed it so far, there’s 13 stations, one in each state with short K2x calls and a couple special event stations.  They’re on all different modes and they all have pileups going, some really deep(Rhode Island).  I’ve got 9 so far.  http://13colonies.net/
