Lew and all,

Holy Capacitor Smoke, Batman! It's almost time for the Ninth
running of the Stew Perry TopBand Dx Challenge sponsored by The Boring
Amateur Radio Club. Go directly to the web site below, do not pass go, do
not collect $200, to understand the rules, times and glimpse the
originality of this TopBand extravaganza.

A glimpse below reveals a plethora of pandered neat-o plaques that
the Stalwarts of the Stew have sponsored for the serious and not so
serious competitor that may be won if you have the gonadoradials for it.
If you are stimulated by this list of categories that honor great
performances and you see an area that needs recognition, then e-mail me
with your idea, mail the Club $50 and you'll join this list of RF Luminaries.

coveted Royal Flying Doctors Service of Australia hat
As an added inducement there will be Official certificates
available to contesters who are turning in their first ever log while
scoring over 1000 points. We want to recognize the new players to the
Top Band and their efforts. So even if you're an old player who doesn't
send in logs...score > 1000 points + turn in your first log to us and
you'll get a really cool certificate that'll look great on the wall or
convince the spouse that you were really contesting Saturday night.
There are some other CW contests that are happening during the
running of The Stew Perry Experience. The Boring Amateur Radio Club
urges all Stew combatants to also interact with these other contesters,
divining what the exchange might be and making more Q's and having fun
which is what RF contesting is all about anyway.
I'd advise brushing up on your Periodic table, laying a few more
radials and sloshing that Beverage out a bit further in order to compete
for one of these priceless Boring Amateur Radio Club plaques.
See you in The Stew!!!!
73 and I remain,
Lew W7EW/W7AT
