Dear 160M Enthusiasts,
       The Boring Amateur Radio Club gently reminds you that the 13th
Edition of
the running of The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge will be open from 1500Z
Dec 27 until 1500Z Dec 28. You can spend 14 hours during that time working
as many of the other TopBand elite while competing for beautiful plaques,
fame,
glory and other intangibles.  You really should read the few rules which
live at:

       The Boring Amateur Radio Club also encourages the participants to sponsor
plaques to honor categories that have real meaning in this 160M epic struggle.
The donors listed below recognize the value of these plaques and have emailed me
with their category and followed that up with $50 for a plaque. Both
the donor and
winner's call are engraved on the plaque. The plaques are beautiful.
    The plaques for the 2007 Stew Perry have recently been sent out first class
postage, of course, and are beautiful.  The Boring Amatuer Radio Club is pleased
to be the vehicle for such contester to contester awards. You or your club could
be like the Stalwarts listed below and sponsor a meaningful plaque. Send me that
email now to inquire if your chosen category might be avaulable.
