Denizens of the TopBand,
The time grows near for the start of The Stew Perry TopBand DX
Challenge. If you need a refresher regarding the rules, or want to be
generally amused, then cruise to:

The Boring Amateur Radio Club, which sponsors this great test of
Operator, Ether, and Wire, is proud to note the Stalwarts among us who
have ponied up $50.00 each to sponsor a category that they individually
feel important to emphasize as part of the Contesting Struggle.
Suggestions have been proffered for categories, but all plaques come
from the Players, not from some unforeseen structure or force. So If you
feel a certain area should be rewarded or recognized, simply let me know
at my e-mail address below and promise to send me the $ to pay for the
plaque. Simple as that!
The Plaques that are offered for this years edition of The Stew
Perry and the Stalwarts who are sponsoring them are:

If you are struck with a brilliant category, and wish to sponsor
it, there is still time! Simply let us know. The donor's call is also
inscribed on the plaque along with the combatant who won the piece of
art. Last year's plaques are finally finished and are safely locked up
in a secret area on Mt. Domitrix, waiting for the opportunity to be
mailed to the winners in various corners of the world where the 160M RF
energy has fallen heavily.
Add the radials, feed the cats, stretch the Beverage and get on
for this year's edition of The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge!
73 and I remain,
