Greetings Greyline Jousters, Jesters, Gridsters and Grouches,
     The Boring Amateur Radio Club has fired the starting cannon this
morning.
The 20th Edition of The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge is on the air. This
contest is the perfect antidote for the Holiday Frazzles which is endemic
upon
the world currently.  You are invited to come play in this unique contest.

     An amazing group of Donors have constituted an amazing group of
plaques which could be won by any participant if they are the top in the
category. These Donors are intelligent, philanthropic people who have
developed
a thesis for a competition with certain prerequisites within the contest.
When
you meet or interact with these Donors be sure to buy them a beverage
and congratulate them on their sagacity, wit and charm. The list below
displays their calls and the categories that they have developed for the
various
subplots for The Stew Perry.

     As you have noticed there are several plaques for certain DX areas. We
hope
that fierce competition will combust worldwide during this 24 hour period.
     If you see a clear category that you feel needs to be emphasized, it
is not too
late to sponsor a plaque. Just email me at the address below. An up to date
list
of the plaques is kept at the above mentioned web site.
     The Boring Amateur Radio Club's many members and committees wish to
thank the contesting community for its support and participation.
See you in the Stew today and tonight!
