Greetings to The Long Hertzian Wavers,
In a few short hours the starting gong will be struck at the Club
station of The
Boring Amateur Radio Club indicating the start of the 18th Running of The
Stew
Perry TopBand DX Challenge. All you need to know about this fine celebration
of CW contesting on TopBand is inscribed here.

Listed below are thoughtful contesters who have originated certain
categories of
competition to fan the flames of this unique contest. If you are struck
smart by a category
that needs to be included here, it is not too late to notify me and it can
be included in the final
determinations. These plaque sponsors are special and need to be told so
whenever you
meet them personally or through the RF. Thank them profusely.

Now would be a good time to take a good look at your 160M antennas. No
matter
if they are tubular aluminum, wires, rain gutters or that abandoned 1947
DeSoto in
the neighbor's back yard. The weather has decimated certain parts of the
world and
we understand that certain 160M stalwarts might not be heard with their
usual vigor, if
at all due to structural irregularities that have developed in their
stations.
The Boring Amateur Radio Club would like to thank the 160M community
and
Contesters and DXers in general for the continued support and participation
for The
Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge. Everybody should try and have a good time
during
this unique contest.
73 and I remain,
