Nocturnal nomads, RF seekers, Long wire wizards and others,
     You have a bit of time before 1500Z Dec. 18 to do the chores, walk the
dog, walk the beverages and pay the electricity bill
 in order to be ready for the start of this year's edition of The Stew Perry
TopBand DX Challenge brought to you by The Boring
Amateur Radio Club.  This contest runs for 24 hours and you can operate
legally for 14 of those hours. Usually it is best to
use the hours of darkness since this is a 160M CW contest and the 160M
signals seem to go better when it is dark outside.
     Please go to the website at:     http://jzap.com/k7rat/stew.html
 where all the rules live. Read them and rejoice in a contest
where you get more points for making further away qsos, receive more points
by working tiny signals rather than QRO signals,
where the contest exchange really means something like your call and grid
square, and where you could very well win a handsome
plaque for a category sponsored by radio giants who encourage certain radio
accomplishments.
     While at the website you can also see the list of radio station
Stalwarts who have sponsored these beautiful plaques and
the category for which you might compete. As an added bonus for the
Stalwarts, we've listed if we have received the funds for each
 plaque as it can be difficult to remember if you've remitted.
Please look through this list of plaques.  When you see one of the sponsors
please buy them a beverage or give them a radio or
some other magnanimous gesture as they understand supporting contesting is
more than just wearing firm undergarments.

      Although the many talented members of The Boring Amateur Radio Club
can do many things, we do not have the ability of
clairvoyance cinched yet. This means that if you think you might qualify for
one of these plaques that have unique requirements
then please inform us of this in your soapbox comments with your log
submittal.
     It is not too late to sponsor a plaque. Just think it up, send me the
category and if it passes the decency censors then $55
will enable you to join the above listed contester supporters.
     There will be one more Stew Perry TopBand listing very shortly before
the 2010 opening bell.
     Thank you for the use of your neurons and See you in The Stew!
     73 and I remain,
     Lew    W7EW
