13 Colonies
MANY thanks to all that operated as K2M for this year’s 13 Colonies event. At K3MJW we put over 3400 QSOs in the log! The K2M QSL card requests have already started to arrive. There were a number of other great K2M operators this year including the Steel City ARC, W3KWH! It was big fun.

As Radio Amateurs, the very reason for our existence is to provide communications in times of emergencies. Because of this, we are given sections of radio spectrum to perform our work. This spectrum is worth billions of dollars to commercial interests and they would love to obtain any of it. As practice for emergency communications we help with communications for public service events.
