I have heard the phenomenon known as lde before and it is quite rare. As for the 13 colony... got em all but GB13COL.. just tying to hear that one on 20 & 40 (ssb) in the Midwest has been frustrating ... got sucked in a couple days ago and going for the clean sweepNo echoes today but I did work the last two 13 colony stations and the two bonus stations WM3PEN and GB13COL. All on wire
