Durham is 13 Colonies bonus station
Durham and District Amateur Radio Society is participating as one of the bonus stations in the 13 Colonies Special Event.
The event began in 2009 as a way of celebrating American Independence with the original 13 colony states of 1776.
Since the UK was a major historical player in the Revolutionary War, GB13COL from England will present an added challenge.
The event will run from 1300UTC on 1 July 2021 to 0400UTC on the 8th.
The primary focus of the event will be the HF bands, including VHF and UHF for QSOs using SSB, CW, FM and various digital modes.
There is also an opportunity to exchange QSL cards with all 13 colony state stations, plus the bonus stations.
Visit the 13 Colonies Special Event website for further information.
