Even though I wasn't the first K2B 40 meter phone op this morning, I was still able to make 177 contacts for a rate of about 88 an hour. That rate is down significantly from Day 1, when I ran about 130 an
hour in the 11-1 slot. No problems with trolls, which was a nice surprise considering the garbage some other K2x operators are experiencing.

New Independence Day Numbered Radiogram? Comments?
What do the assembled
Virginia 13 Colonies (K2B) Event operators think about creating a
new Radiogram for use on or around Independence Day?
I propose using "76" either by itself or in conjunction with "73"
when signing off from a QSO, e.g., 73 es 76 de K2(X) might be used
on CW. Similarly, it could be used on SSB, e.g., "73 and 76 from
K2(X) QRZ?" or just "76 from K2(X), QRZ?".
The radiogram 76 or SEVENTY SIX would be defined as something like
"Wishing you a happy Independence Day this July 4th".
I wouldn't expect this to be used in the National Traffic System
(NTS), but it could be at some future point.
Comments?

I signed-up at the last minute to fill the 12-1 slot on 20CW. 38 Qs in 45 minutes. Some kind of loud noise -- not quite QRN -- wiped me out at 12:30, but I was able to make a few more Qs between 12:45 and 1:00.
38 Qs in 45 minutes. Many signals were very weak, even with both both preamps active on the K4.
If this evening looks good, maybe I can sign-up for 80CW or 40CW.

So sorry to all. Our 14 1/2 YO pooch came down with a severe? paw pad infection( may have gotten it on an FD visit) late last week and now my XYL is awaiting tests in the hospital and had been hospitalized since 6:30 yesterday. We'll see
how it goes. I may try to get on the air on Wednedsay and Thursday. After FD, things just fell apart.

Nice work, Kay.
?
We usually can’t hear each other, too close.? So I listen on the internet.
Note you can listen to K2B ops (and others) on websdr.
I like to monitor to see how things are going, and spot whenever I can.
Please try to spot K2B ops when you hear them.

Re: QRZ LOGGING K2B AS Christmas Birthday 2019
Justin and I spoke, and I think we figured out it’s not a pirate or something.
And mostly innocuous.
But when our counterparty looks at our data, they get this.
?
It’s a guy in Suffolk County NY, who used the K2B callsign for a birthday party he had in 2019.
Must have been a great party.? :-/
?
I contacted QRZ to fix this.
But it’s hard to imagine the work that went in to override something that’s automated.
Yeah, the same people who took our page down twice in the past two months.
Think about that.

Heads up...
I have had two instances now of someone asking me what is up with this?? I don't know.
I created a log myself in QRZ and sure enough under Receiver Info the operator is "Christmas Birthday 2019"
and the state is "NY"
