Down in the Philly area today to celebrate my Mom's 86th birthday today and of course Independence Day. Between doing my Mom's bidding, (hang this picture, I want X for dinner, how about making a chocolate cake for your Mom, etc) I will throw an antenna in the tree next to her house and try to pick up some QSO's (Contacts) within the 13 Original Colonies.
Here is a link if you would like to learn more about this annual event or to participate this year.
Happy Independence Day!
