| A magnificent NEW, full color, 8 1/2"x11", certificate, printed on heavy card stock, with the state flags of all the 1776 colony states, adorning this award. You can work one state or, all 13 and, be eligible for the certificate. | |||||
| The theme for 2011 is the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration adorns the 2011 certificate-very cool. see above. Also a special "Contact" logo will be affixed if you worked one or all 13 stations. A "Clean Sweep" indicator will also be affixed, for those lucky enough to "Q" all 13. | |||||
| Each year a completely new design with a new Independence Era Patriotic theme..NICE! | |||||
| Please have patience! We made 12,500 "Q"s in 2009 and 34,273 in 2010! For 2011 we expect that "Q" figure to increase dramatically, especially if Propagation & weather is better, and static/QRN levels are lower. Pile-Ups will be a ZOO! but we will be prepared. We have learned alot in 2009 & 2010, and we will employ some different tactics to hear everybody. But please remember that our main goal is not to make a contest out of this. This is a special event to honor our Independence, but bagging all 13 will be nice-Right? | |||||
| NOTE: One contact with a Thirteen Colonies state is sufficient for credit for that state. Additional contacts on other bands or with the other state stations will not get you any more credit. Please limit yourselves to one contact per state, so that others may have a chance. | |||||
| This will give the stations with "no gain" antenna's, stations working 100W, QRP/Mobiles and DX a chance to get all "13" too! We are out to have some fun this 4th of July week, and will try to appease everyone. We thank you for your consideration in advance.. | |||||
