The dust has settled from the recently completed CQWW-CW contest, meaning that it is about 1 month until The Boring Amateur Radio Club's 8th running of the Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge. This year you may pick your 14 hours out of the time span of 1500Z on Dec. 27 through 1500Z on Dec. 28, 2003. The rules and information for this competition are at:

This contest is a CW test that utilizes distance via Grid squares as part of the scoring mnemonic. Newbies or rusty CW OPs are encouraged to get on for this contest as the Q's are more important than the speed of their dits and dahs. It also is unique in that the competitors decide which plaques are important enough to them to sponsor. The 2002 plaques have recently been entrusted to the US Postal service and are on their ways to the winners. The contesters that are ahead of the curve, have already spoken and sent in their $50.00 each reserving the beautiful 2003 plaques as below:


Sponsor                     Category
KL7RA                     Top QSO Total
K1PX                      Top Score-Single-Op-Europe-Low Power
VK6VZ                     Top Score utilizing Home Brew gear (Alf
        Traeger, VK5AX Memorial RFDS Cap)

There are other categories being stewed about, so don't be left out. E-mail me and then fire off the check to sponsor what you feel is important to emphasize about this 160M contest where men are men, Beverages have at least 2 meanings and double digit fluxes are fantasized about.
Start now to lay the groundwork for a vigorous contesting respite among the hurly-burly of the Holiday/New Year time period. You will deserve it. Remember last year?
73 and I remain,
