Thanks Lew
We tested our 160M antenna for a short while after a severe thunderstorm in the
CQ WW CW - found some faults in the beverages
We worked a handfull of W stations through the static crashes (had to listen on
the vertical) and will be on for the Stew @ VK4KW.

Please note I no longer use the WIA email address where possible owing to it
blocking emails from sites such as VK Logger and ARRL.

> Greetings to the Ditters and Dawters of the 160M Realm,
> The evil snow, ice, winds and politicians are all afoot now... but

> Edition
> of The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge sponsored by The Boring Amateur
> Radio Club.
> This is the fairest contest in our known galaxy. It is a Morse Code (CW)
> contest where
> the exchange is your call-sign and your grid-square. Through magic, the
> astute log
> checkers of our massive club are able to determine how far away your
> contact was
> with another station. The idea is that far away contacts are worth more
> than close in
> contacts. Also, you get extra points for working low power and QRP stations
> which delights
> the lesser powered stations and rewards you for sticking with that -27dB
> signal in the mush
> until you can discern the call and grid-square. You should really browse
> on over to:
> www.kkn.net/stew/ and read the rules and see the other cool stuff
> there.
> The following Giants of Contesting are sponsoring plaques for The
> Stew. These Luminaries
> have offered up a category to spur on the radio combatants and have sent in
