    A good eating stew is a mixture of protein, fiber, spices and 
water. The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge is also made up of these same
substances.  It's the ratio of the mixings and how you ladle your RF 
nutrient out to the hungry competitors and how you consume their RF
offerings as to how much fun you'll have Dec 17-18. So..I've completely 
confused and nauseated you comparing food and 160M TopBand
contesting? Not a problem. Travel to the web site below and become one 
with the rules and the aura (not aurora) that the contest has.

    One of several of the unique things about this contest is that the people 
who care decide what should 
be honored by a plaque. The Boring Amateur Radio Club sponsors the Stew and 
offers anybody with a modicum of 
good taste and $50 the ability to sponsor such a category. These plaque 
sponsors are typically more caring and
better looking than their counterparts... say....the 6M operators, who do 
utilize grid squares but don't have
anything comparable to The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge.
 This years ever expanding list of plaque donors so far include:

    There will be one more Stew epistle before the contest, so it's not too 
late to brew up your category
and let us know about it. The tension is mounting regarding the category for 
someone to win a never before
worn Official Boring Amateur Radio Club Tee Shirt. This, along with the 
complete list of the smart sponsors
will be coming soon. Bad behavior, boorish operating or general malfeasance on 
the Top Band, especially during
The Stew Perry Top Band DX Challenge may bring you an already worn, never 
washed Official Boring Amateur Radio
Club Tee Shirt...or worse. See you in The Stew! It's all about having some fun.
    73 and I remain,
