Dear OMs and Yls A July Stew Perry is an excellent idea!!! We need something to temp more onto the band during the noisy season. One tunes the band a number of times and hears nothing and so resorts
I like the idea, at least I will make some DX when band is not that noisy! My eardrums say thanks! hihi 73, Felipe Ceglia - PY1NB -- PR1T team member /// Rio DX Group member /// Araucaria DX Group me
I'll throw out a related suggestion. Why not use the IARU HF contest as the "summertime" 160 contest ? It's 24 hours long and has excellent worldwide activity on all bands except 160 meters. 73, Stev
Please no! Let the Stew be the Stew. It is the best and fairest TB contest ever devised by mankind. I wouldn't mind if we had one every month especially at the summer solstice, vernal and autumnal eq
No, the IARU HF contest does NOT have QTC's. You are confusing it with the WAE contest. The IARU exchange is 59(9) + ITU Zone. The ITU zones are smaller than the CQWW zones, and would provide a good
IARU is an all-band contest, be a lot of topbanders on other bands for score. Four 24 hour Stew's a year is a good deal, at the equinoxes and the soltices. Then you can forget the practice Stew. Also
While I LOVE the concept of the Stew, it seriously lacks critical mass, even in the main event in December. As a result, I always finding myself taking frequent breaks during the evening and going QR
I like the Stew, however, it typically falls at a time when I've traveled away from home for the holidays and don't have access to a station or am actually traveling during the Stew weekend. Bummer.
Hence, my suggestion to make the already-popular, all-HF-band, SSB/CW, IARU HF contest the summer 160 meter event. The ITU zones that make up the exchange don't provide quite the same geographic gran
The problem with that approach is that no one attempting a serious effort in IARU is going to be on 160M. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB -
I beleive there is the issue holding the June Stew on Field Day; there will not be many serious efforts on top band. Do we need four hour top band contests or an occasional QSO party? Something less
A couple of comments. The June Stew is the weekend before field day. There is activity from the IARU on 160 meters as multipliers count once per band. I remember having some fun there for the first 5
I know I tried very hard to participate last year, mother nature had it in for us here in WTX DM91sk if you check that list there were only two '5's listed one was in MS the other in KY but I'll for
You can count me in as a QRP entry, Sam - yep, LUV the Stew...we QRPers are worth more 'bout that time than others. Hi Hi Jim R. K9JWV _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ..
Oh yeah...not that comment SURE must lead one to believe that dooood is 'trollin'! Hah - what an absurd thought - disallow QRP operations in an event where a QRP station garners more points/weight th
The point was not to disallow QRP, but to observe that when noise levels are high a QRP signal is not likely to be heard. Three important facts of life that every QRPer must firmly understand are tha
