Just a quick reminder that the 13 Colonies (http://13colonies.us/) amateur radio contest is on and runs till 2359 Sunday July 7th.

It is a great contest for all especially for first time or newbie hams.

I do it as a QRP station (5W) using my little (Portable) XIEGU G90 (https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product/14255) transceiver.

Let's post questions and comments here about the contest.
