Operators Sought for MA 13 Colonies Special Event, July 1-7, 2026

K2H 250th QSL cardLarry Krainson, W1AST, writes:

I’m looking for volunteers to serve as special event station operators for 13 Colonies 2026. It runs July 1-7.

If you would like to experience what it’s like to be the “DX” in a pileup and enjoy the rush of making contacts, become a 13 Colonies K2H op.

Your transmitter MUST be in Massachusetts at all times.

This year’s theme is the Declaration of Independence, which was first read in the state 250 years ago.

This is a fun operating event. You can be one of approximately 20 ops in MA. Last year we made close to 20,000 QSOs in just seven days.

The deadline to sign up is May 30th, 2026. If you’re interested in becoming an op for K2H, please contact:
