The yearly 13 colonies event up to now also included a special separate event for satellite operations.
http://www.13colonies.info/Satellites.htm This included a 13 colonies sweep satellite certificate. This is one of the few awards still offered to satellite operators that has international recognition. I can vividly remember the last time, 2 years ago giving satellite operators the sweep from DE, most notably our Cuban friend Hector. Last year we only had sat operations from 11 of the 13 states. I just did an informal survey of the states that participated last year and find that only 7 states will be active this year. The consensus among the 13 colonies group is that this isn't going to work. We need to get all 13 colonies involved. The states we need to get operations going from are. CT DE MD NC PA RI If we get the rest I will once again make the trip to DE to assure anyone who wants the sweep. I know there has to be at least one good sat op in all of these states, let's not let this die. Let me know off list if you're interested in getting involved, I will do all I can to assist... 73 Jeff kb2m _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
