Greetings to All 160M Denizens present and future,
The Boring Amateur Radio Club reminds all Top Band and
potential Top Band inhabitants of the upcoming Stew Perry Top Band
Distance Challenge happening Dec. 27 and 28 of this year. This is a
unique radio contest with unique rules. Please browse on over to the noted
website below and inhale the rules.
http://www.kkn.net/stew/
This contest requests that far thinking contesters develop the
categories
for which the participants strive toward. These stalwarts advance $60-63
for a plaque that they feel will spur on the competitive work by Top Band
contesters. You can join this cutting edge group by notifying me of what
category you'd like to sponsor.
This list will grow as your imagination and contributions proliferate.

Dr. Beldaur-L1AR Top score utilizing temporary antenna. (All parts
of temporary antenna including radials must be installed after
Dec. 14, 2014. This antenna must be the only antenna for
TopBand at the station, and may be left up, because as we
all know, "temporary" means "until I die".)
For newly minted radio people this contest is a serious but low key
contest utilizing Morse code only on the 160M band. It uses grid squares
as multipliers rather than a host of many other silly things. Start now with
bargaining time during the Holidays with your loved ones for a stretch of
time
you can devote on the evening of Dec. 27 to exchange RF greetings on
one of the best bands available.
All categories have been approved by the Plaqueing Committee of The
Boring Amateur Radio Club. Some of the donors wish to remain
semi-anonymous. This is fine with us as the categories are not prurient and
the plaque fees have been received. Let me know if you'd like to sponsor a
plaque, anonymous or not.
Further Stew Perry TopBand Extravaganza notices will be promulgated
as the starting bell gets closer. Plan on participating in one of the best
contests
ever designed, that among other things utilizes layers of our atmosphere
on Dec. 27-28.
73 and I remain,
