Greetings Even More Frozen TopBanders,
     The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge starts very soon. If you're
not exactly sure when, or unsure of rules...like packet, running 10KW
or public drunkenness please navigate to this site to read:

     Below is the current list of sponsored plaques and their donors.

    When you submit your log to our ever vigilant log checker please
include which plaque or plaques you're striving to attain. Some categories
might require some sort of proof that you met the criteria for that plaque.
As in "Top Score- Moose Mobile" might require a photo of the antenna on
the moose and particulars about the connections and settings.
     We apologize to WO9S who was not correctly identified as the winner
of the 2015 plaque:  "KL7RA Memorial, Top Score, S/O, LP Central
Division."  This blunder has been corrected on the plaque page on the
above mentioned website. An internal investigation by The Boring Amateur
Radio Club Committee on Screw-ups is on-going. We are sorry, WO9S!
     There is still time to sponsor a plaque. If you are considering doing
that
please let me know very soon. A final or nearly final listing of the
available
plaques to be fought over on the 160M RF field will appear  roughly 48
hours
from now.
     73 and I remain,
