13 COLONIES (Special Event). Once again the annual "13 Colonies Special
Event" will take place between 1300z, June 30th and 0400z July 5th. The
theme for 2015 will be "Founders and Patriots of the Republic". The certi-
ficate is printed on heavy card stock. Stations working one state or, as
many as all 13, will be eligible for the certificate. A "Clean Sweep"
indicator will be affixed, for those lucky enough to "Q" all 13. A special
endorsement will be attached for stations contacting their sister oper-
ation, WM3PEN, in Philadelphia, PA, where independence was declared. New
for 2015, the 13 Colonies have added a second sister event station GB13COL
will operate from Durham, England. The 13 Colonies certificate will have a
Liberty Bell added for a contact with WM3PEN. They will also offer a special
QSL card printed just for this event. There should be at least two stations
from each on the 13 colonies on the air, as well as Super contest stations,
multi-operator Club stations and OM and XYL teams. The U.S. original 13
colonies are CT-DE- GA-MA-MD-NC-NH-NJ-NY-PA-RI-SC-VA. Special events
stations mentioned are: K2A (NY), K2B (VA), K2C (RI), K2D (CT), K2E (DE),
K2F (MD), K2G (GA), K2H (MA), K2I (NJ), K2J (NC), K2K (NH), K2L (SC),
and K2M (PA). All HF bands will be in play except the WARC bands and
60 meters. 2 meters and 6 meter simplex are encouraged. All modes of
operation should be represented - SSB, CW, RTTY, Digital, and the Satel-
lites. The mode of operation is up to the individual colony state station.
For more details on the stations, suggested frequencies, QSL info and on
how to obtain the special certificate, see: http://www.13colonies.info

KH5/P DXPEDITION NEWS (Press Release #2): [edited] Lou (N2TU) and Craig
(K9CT) previously announced a DXpedition to Palmyra Atoll at the Inter-
national DX Convention in Visalia, California. Palmyra (KH5) ranks #9 on
the Most Wanted List and #2 in Europe.
The Pacific Islands DXpedition Group has been awarded permission to
activate Cooper Island in the Palmyra Atoll, January 11-26th, 2016.
A team of highly experienced operators and veterans of many DXpeditions
has been assembled. Team members include Craig/K9CT, Lou/N2TU, Jerry/WB9Z,
Tom/ND2T, Mike/K9NW, Ralph/K0IR, John/K6MM, Bob/K4UEE, Hal/W8HC, Dick/W3OA,
Jim/N9TK and Glenn/W0GJ.
The Team plans to operate five stations, 160 to 6 meters on CW, SSB and
Digital modes, using a callsign to be announced at a later date. Antennas
dedicated to working Europe will be deployed due to the high need and
propagation path difficulty.
Critical to major DXpeditions are the immediate, up-front commitment
costs. For instance, most of the equipment (antennas, coax, wire, con-
nectors, and site material) has already been purchased, tested and shipped
to Palmyra. These procurement and shipping costs are a significant portion
of the overall DXpedition costs. It is estimated this DXpedition will incur
costs of over 200,000 USDs plus individual and personal expenses.
We are pleased we have received support from so many Foundations, Clubs
and Individuals already. We are about $30,000 USDs short of our need for
the next payment November 1st. So please donate as soon as possible to
help with the upfront costs.
Our website, <Palmyra2016.org>, has a =93Donate=94 link to facilitate your
generous contribution. Without your support, this DXpedition would not
happen! =

home callsign with a SASE for USA or 1 IRC for DX.

REALTIME BAND CONDITIONS WEB SITE <http://www.bandconditions.com>:
The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 actual
(REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB for
Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be of
benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for Nets
and casual QSO's. This information is NOT based on any software pre-
dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on a
new Ionospheric sounding method called "HF Ionospheric Interferometry"
which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used by NASA.
