| The 13 Colony Special Event will be offering a certificate for contacting participating stations. You do not need all 13 Colonies to get a certificate. When you work WM3PEN make a note on the 13 colony log sheet and you will get an “Liberty Bell” endorsement with the WM3PEN call place on the certificate. WM3PEN will be offering a QSL card: send an SASE, 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. WM3PEN logs are uploaded to LoTW and EQSL(ag). D-STAR and Fusion contacts will not be uploaded. |
