13 colonies special Event 2018

This year the band conditions seemed more difficult than previous years. I also did not have the same time available so chasing stations was more hit and miss.I did manage the WM3PEN bonus station although conditions were very difficult.He was lonely calling CQ and it still took many tries to exchange information.Most of the other 13 colony stations were much easier although about half were extremely busy with callers trying to be heard.
 I only managed 8 of the thirteen colony stations and the 1 bonus station--never hearing the GB13COL station from overseas even once.Fun time as always-no clean sweep! Maybe next year!
 I want to again thank the operators for a fun and well organized event.10 year anniversary so I will be sending for the certificate with a small donation included.
