Well, the propagation hasn't really changed much. If anything, I think it got a bit worse.

Still, after 3.5 days, I've totaled up 2,347 contacts here. I'm hoping to get to 3K, but tonight it's tough scaring up much.

I think I'm going to take tonight off, or at least not operate very much and try to recharge. Probably a good thing to rest my voice as well.

I see your callsign listed on that website Jim......... I echo what Fred said....... the propagation has to pan out,and the FD conditions were the grunts for everyone who was participating last week. Worst conditions in a long time.Situation becoming too common these days........ :dunno:

Problem solved. I spent 2 hours on 20m tonight. Now at 2,939. I should hit 3,000 sometime Tuesday morning.

Did you?

As of 02:55z today (10:55pm EDT last night), 3,273 in the log. I'll probably get close to 3,400 by midnight EDT.

It's still going on? I thought yesterday was the last day. (I still doubt I'll get GB13COL though)

I'm done for this year. I decided that the static crashes on 40m were just too much. Pulled the plug at 02:50.

Total is 3,537 with a little under 40 hours worth of operating over the 6 days.

Breakdown:

80m - 529
40m - 1,188
20m - 1,813
17m - 7

OK, I'm stupid. Are these numbers individual contacts AS someone in one of the colonies, or points FOR contacting 13 colony special event stations? Go easy, I've been out in the woods the last 13 days. I only got 4 stations myself, all on 20m. Updating logbook shortly over on that other site.

There are no points in this event. It's simply a total of contacts made as one of the K2E operators.

Cool!

Just my luck - K2E is one I didn't get. Crap!

Oh, seems I did get 6 upon inspection of the log book.
In order of contact: k2m, k1t, k2l, k2f, k2g, k2j.

Looking forward to next year.

<upon further inspection> There isn't no fucking k1t with the 13 colonies special event! Who the fuck was that that said they were MA? Shit, I really hate it when people pull this shit! Guess I only got five then. $#&%@!!!

There were a couple of 1x1 Special Event Stations on that had nothing to do with 13 Colonies.

K1T was one of them.

There was one for the Battle of Gettysburg... Or was it the Gettysburg Address? I want to say W3G, but don't hold me to that (I never heard or worked them, but there were spots)

And there was at least one for the Whiskey Rebellion... K2R? Never worked them either, but KU2US was having an absolute FIT the other day on the cluster, constantly posting that this was NOT a 13 Colonies station,

No subterfuge. Just different events.

OK, I didn't know that. Thanks. I'll leave it in the log then.

Boy, getting it in the zed logbook the first time was a nightmare. Putting it back in should prove equally interesting

Just FYI:
The Battle of Gettysburg SES was/is W1G (they're still on)
The Whiskey Rebellion SES was/is W3R (also still on)
The Tesla Birthday SES was N2T, but they were only on for a few hours yesterday (Sunday). Never heard them. Pity.

eQSL confirmations requested from AB1OC for K2K (NH) QSOs
eQSL confirmations requested from N3ZV for K2B (VA) QSOs

Sorry. I'm old-fashioned when it comes to these things. I QSL the call worked, not the call of the operator.

Got one from AB1OC as well. Another guy sent one to my personal call for K2E, twice.

I can go one better. I just picked up 2 envelopes that contain paper cards for K2E, sent to my personal call's address.

Idiots....
