Re: After action net?
Sure sounds like a plan. I suspect having the "lessons learned" in writing is helpful. We may not really need a net, it was just a thought to provide an opportunity to get together using our radios instead of the Internet. LOL

That usually takes a week or so. We would have something tangible to reflect on. Just a thought. David, K2WPM K2B Coordinator – 13 Colonies -----Original Message-----

Hey David - should we have an after action HF net on 40M tomorrow or Saturday? Just an idea. In the olden days, we had an HF net after the VHF contests at 11:00pm where everybody reported their scores. Great time to get together with your competition. Way before 3830. This event sort of reminds me of the camaraderie of a VHF contest. Not sure of a good time. I would be interested in hearing experiences. |

Re: After action net?
I would definitely join the after action net. Would be a good way to bring everyone together.

Sounds good, please set it up if others also want.

I have long-deferred business and personal obligations for the next several days / weeks. I would certainly try to attend, but unlikely... In any event, we will have a post-event thread for recap, suggestions, etc. I found, having that 'in writing,' helped me improve the experience this year. (Thanks again to Mike Dodd for those one-hour slots). I will also prepare and circulate a summary of other colonies, as well as within K2B.

Re: Free For All Friday?
You're the best, Carl.
Many thanks. Privileged to have you with K2B. Folks, I have added a second row on spreadsheet for 40 meter SSB, 40 meter CW, 20 meter SSB and 20 meter CW, in the unlikely event someone wants to do a free for all on those prime bands/modes.? Really hoping we can even have coverage for single ops on slots across the day and evening .... If you want to add a row for another band, please feel free to do so. Please sign in when you decide to take a slot. Twice yesterday I grabbed what I thought was an empty slot, only to find two K2B's being spotted on dxsummit ... Thanks again for everyone's efforts.? You make Virginia hams shine. With a good effort today, from what I see and hear (and my own surpassing last year by 25%), we will hit 25,000 contacts. David, K2WPM |

David,
It is 10:53 and I have to retire. 20 is hopping. I worked a lot of west coast on the high beam and several Europeans on the middle beam. This has been a lot of fun.
73,

Re: Free For All Friday?
One station runs FT8 and the other FT4. WIN! Worked 4 stations on the last RS-44 pass one right after the other.? So not as much productivity as you HF folks, but the K2B satellite 3-some are getting there.?? 73 Steve KS1G? On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 12:48?PM KN4DUF <KN4DUF@...> wrote:

Re: spreadsheet
开云体育I came across this on the CWOPS reflector. It's neat because the general public can see who's operating and when. Maybe all the K2x efforts should have something like this. Our spreadsheet has more information, which I found useful. (frequency and QRT times) ...... On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 10:55 AM, Stu2 - W7IY wrote:

Re: Free For All Friday?
For FT8/4 I think it would be confusing unless you identify the 2 stations. Would end up answering each others calls.? No reason not to do it on cw/SSB that I see.?

Fw: [LongIslandCWClub] 13 Colonies Event Logging
If you are sending for your paper as well On Wed, 5 Jul, 2023 at 9:18 AM, Lane WK4WC #497 <lane.kendall@...> wrote: ? Hello All If you hate keeping a paper log for 13 colonies like I do, this may be of interest to you. N1MM (free logging program) has a template (User Defined Contest) for 13 Colonies. I used it this time and it works great. You can create an ADIF file from the N1MM 13 Col log. On the 13 Colonies Log Sheet page there is a link for "Automated Form Generator". Just fill in the form with your name, call etc. and upload your ADIF file. The form will be "AutoMagically" filled in for you. No muss no fuss. You still have to snail mail the form but this makes the process?easier. 73 Lane WK4WC |

What does -@ signify?
开云体育It means the station posted the spot in the DX Summit web
interface. If you post through some other mechanism, like Telnet
or via an application, the -@ won't be appended. On 7/6/23 10:08, David Wright wrote:

Re: Free For All Friday?
开云体育In the dumb question department, I’ve always wondered, when I post a spot on dxsummit, it lists me as “K2WPM-@” Anyone know what the “-@” signifies? I thought it meant I was affiliated with the station I am spotting (K2B), but it looks like it’s actually something different. ? David, K2WPM K2B Coordinator – 13 Colonies ?
