Somebody's got to be the curmudgeon here -- guess I'll volunteer. Not everyone 
on Topband is excited to see this. 

Let me see if I've got this right. First there was the Stew, then the pre-Stew 
(a contest to get ready for a contest), next a Summer Stew. Now there's going 
to be a Spring Stew? Are we eventually going to see a January Stew, February 
Stew, March Stew....? Maybe a Continuous Stew? So much Stew that Campbell's 
can't give it away? This, on top of all the other contests on the band? 

Anyone attempting to DX during these periods is SOL what with the clicks, 
non-stop CQ machines and inconsiderate plopping down on the rare clear spots 
that any non-contesting DX has managed to find. 

Is a four-times-a year contest with basically the same objectives really 
necessary?
