[SECC] 13 colonies event for July 1 to 6

[Jim Stafford]

We are still in need of a few more (maybe 6) operators to give out 
GEORGIA during the 13C event this
year.  We are especially in need of SSB ops.  Many of the folks looking 
to work all 13
colonies are SSB ops.  Other modes are good but SSB is more valuable.  
Once the event starts,
you might want to work a few other states (or even GA) with your own 
callsign before you
fire up using K2G.  See  http://www.13colonies.info/GA13Col.htm


Here is who I have as operators for this year so far.

W4QO 	
	
N4PN 	
	
W6IZT 	
	
W5JR 	
	
N4VDL 	
	
K4WSW 	
	
wd4lyv 	
	
wb4whd 	
	
n4nhw 	
	



Obviously this can and will change as schedules conflict, etc.

Other than the list above, let me know if you can give out K2G contacts 
this year.

If you want to help, we are asking you to:

1. Shoot for a personal goal of at least 400 QSOs.  (hey, N4PN did over 
4000 last year!! :)
On phone, 400 represents only 1 hour per day (60 Qs/hour) for the six 
days - July 1 to 6.
If time is limited, do several hour (or 2) segments during the week.  
You'll work through
the pileup in a couple hours.  Keep contacts short but be more casual 
than "contest style"
It's the Fourth of July event - be patriotic!!

2. Send me an ADIF file of your QSOs within 1 week of the end (ie July 
13)  A simple software
to use is GEN LOG.  Use "general logging" feature.. It is a bit tricky 
to get started; you have to name
a file (include your callsign) and a log type (general logging) but once 
started, its simple.  If you screw up
an entry, don't bother to erase/correct, simply enter another QSO with 
correct data.
The program?   It's free!  Put your callsign in the title of the adif 
file you send me.
The North Fulton club is the QSL manager for all of GA. *Tnx to K4NHW 
for card design.* See
web link above.

3. Send me just a total number of Qs within 24 hours of end of event 
(July 7)

4. Spot yourself often so all our ops know "who's on what freq".  I find 
dx.summit.fi
to be an easy one to use for spots.  Be sure to put -  Georgia 13 
Colonies - in the comments.
There is no scheduling but we want only op per band per mode.  You look 
on the spotting
network, do a search on K2G and find a clear spot, spot yourself and 
start calling CQ 13 colonies.  A pileup will
ensue!

We especially need more phone operators; so if you know of any, talk to them
and have them contact me w4qo at nfarl.org
