Independence Week Special Event
Original 13 Colonies
July 1-5, 2011

Sponsored by The U.S. Original 13 Colonies Group
with the Holmesburg Amateur Radio Club, Inc.
WM3PEN@ARRL.NET

Amateur radio stations operating from the 13 colonies will be joined by members of the Holmesburg Amateur Radio Club to celebrate our independence from the city where independence was declared, Philadelphia, PA. Club members will be operating a special event station using the Club call WM3PEN. Did you know that the Pennsylvania Assembly ordered the Liberty Bell in 1751 to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges, Pennsylvania's original Constitution?

The theme for 2011 is the Declaration of Independence. WM3PEN will offer a special QSL card. The 13 Colony Special Event will be offering a special certificate with the Declaration of Independence on it. For further information on the 13 colony certificate look up the KU2US Bio at QRZ.com.

WM3PEN will participate in the event. When you work WM3PEN make a note on the 13 colony log sheet and you will get a "Liberty Bell" endorsement with the WM3PEN call place on the certificate. Remember to check out mailing instructions on the KU2US Bio at QRZ.com.

WM3PEN will be offering a great custom QSL Card to celebrate the event.

When you work WM3PEN send an SASE, IRC, or Green Stamp ($1) with your QSL to WM3PEN. Use the address for WM3PEN at QRZ.COM. You can also QSL via the bureau. SWLs may send a confirmation of reception to request a QSL card. Simply indicate the stations making contact with WM3PEN, time, frequency, and your receiving equipment. SWL stations should follow the same mailing instructions.

Any donations to help with printing costs are always appreciated, and can be sent along with your QSL request.

Times will be: 12:01 AM Eastern on July 1st to 11:59 PM Eastern on July 5th.
