The Boring Amateur Radio Club is proud to sponsor this Stellar Event
nd hope to hear you on TopBand not only during the contest, but during
the rest of the season also. Club Members have placed the request for a
dab or two of propagation, so that TopBanders everywhere can wring every
drop of RF out of the sky into the various Beverages, EWES, V's, inverted
U's and BVD's in all Worldly and not so worldly locations.
All decisions regarding the Contest are generally fair, but may be
capricious and totally biased, unless you can talk us out of the decision
as the Boring Amateur Radio Club is responsible for such decisions.
Illegal acts such as crossband Q's on 6M, Feeding RF to Mammalian Life
forms to enhance TX capabilities, claiming Deities as members of your
Multi crew, claiming the interference wasn't you due to ancient
football injuries...or similar ilk will undoubtedly be found out and lead
to disqualification, censure, hair loss and bad breath.
Have Fun...Thats what its all about!
73 and I remain,
Lew Sayre W7EW/W7AT
Boring Amateur Radio Club Plaquesterer
