I like the Stew, however, it typically falls at a time when I've traveled away
from home for the holidays and don't have access to a station or am actually
traveling during the Stew weekend. Bummer.
This year, the timing was different enough to operate the event and condx
turned out to be less than stellar from QTH.
I would like more 160 events but I doubt my station would be able to work any
DX in the summer months.
tnx
Mike
