Each year the US celebrates its independence on 4th July and with that holiday comes the 13 Colonies special event. This year the event takes place between 1st July and 8th July 2023. 13 special callsigns will be active, one callsign for each original United States colony. In addition, 3 bonus stations will be active, operating from France, Great Britain, and Philadelphia.

Participants can submit a log sheet and a suggested donation of $5 to receive a special certificate. Working all stations is not required to receive a certificate.
