| CERTIFICATE RESULTS: 93% Clean Sweeps! WOW! 50% increase in DX responses. Ran out of envelopes, stamps, paper and QSL cards! All supplies increased in cost by 15% average, but the requested donation will stay the same. |
| CW was very active this year. CW "Clean Sweeps" were way up this year! QRP/Mobile "Clean Sweeps" were also up this year! |
| "THE BRITISH ARE COMING" AGAIN! For 2015! Maybe! Those Redcoats Just don't get it! They want to try again! There is a good possibility that an English HR club, G0VLF, may be our 2nd Bonus station in 2015! It is still in the works. This one is more challenging. I will let you know when it is for sure. A "Union Jack" will be added as an endorsement on the certificate. |
| OPERATOR FEED BACK: I was quite surprised by this! Numerous clubs contacted me to tell me that they are featuring the "13 Colonies" with certificate & QSL card presentations at their next club meeting. Most of them are located west and mid-west! Believe this or not: There are STILL many ham Op's that do not know we exist yet! What do you think will happen when all of these Operators find out and decide to participate? The only word I can think of is "MASSIVE". I HAVE MANY LETTERS CONGRATULATING US ON A JOB WELL DONE. Folks, I think everyone needs a "Congratulations" and to know that we really are appreciated. |
| 2015 TIME AND DATES: START-June 30th, Tuesday at 9am eastern (13:00 utc). FINISH-July 5th, Sunday midnight EDT (04:00 July 6th). The 4th of July lands on a Saturday next year. |
