Got them all on CW last year except the GB13COL. Had to get him on DStar because they didn't work CW.

K2K is the last one I need, sounds like they only have a few operators and the pileups last night and today have been pretty bad not to mention the behavior of more than a few.

The K2K station couldn't control the pile up, so it was chaos. If he would have gone by the call district numbers he could have managed the nonsense.

I got lucky and was able to get them  on phone after a few calls yesterday afternoon on 20m.    I only need GB13COL on phone for a sweep of all 16 on phone.   I have worked all 16 on FT8.

NH is always notorious for being the tough one.  To be fair, they don't seem to get a lot of volunteers to run the station, but yea there is one or two operators that seem to be on the slower side.  It is what it is, at least they're willing to do it at all.

I'll be giving it a go today. I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem to get all of these, but I've never done it before!

Clean sweep on all the K2 stations!

I have WM3PEN on SSB and TM13COL on FT4, trying for TM13COL on SSB now.

Edit: typed the wrong call sign

Does anyone know if there if K2K has been on CW?

Got all of them including the bonus stations on SSB!  I'm pretty happy with that considering that 10 hours ago I didn't have a single one in the log.

Just got K2K on14.294 with almost no waiting, that's 13 for me plus Philadelphia.

I see lots of complaining about K2K not being on the air for CW. I guess they are having trouble finding CW operators.

My wife just got a clean sweep on digital!  All 13 plus the 3 bonus stations took her less than 4 hours.

Yes, she had an amp on for all bands except 30 meters, there she got K2M with 100 watts.  She didn't have very much time this weekend to devote to this so we made the best of the limited time available.  She is in here but rarely ever posts.

This is freaking awesome!  I have only worked a few aeronautical mobile stations on 2 meters and only a couple on HF.

My brother have been looking for K2K on CW or SSB and hasn't had any luck yet either.  Hopefully he pops up. From what I have heard, K2K had the fewest operators of any station.

It's not a big deal, but I hope next year they put in a bit more effort on CW.

Still no GB13COL on CW.

Clean sweep.

I wasn't going to bother but was bored and decided to see how many I could get before I had to go somewhere.

I got 5 in an hour and when I got back grabbed another 4 for the hell of it.

This AM I got 3 of the remaining 4 and for the hell of it an hour ago and checked the cluster. NH was on 40 meters so I potted him for a painless clean sweep.

Well 47 out of 48 isn't bad...GB13COL was my MIA contact.

^^^ Awesome!  

I have several of the 13 colonies stations already confirmed on LoTW and QRZ.

Normally I don't apply for awards, but since both my wife and I got a full sweep, we sent in for the certificate.
