Topband: Results, 1998 Stew Perry TDC?

[Iowaguy]

I love the SP contest. . . it's great fun!  But I have to agree with George.
. . not sure moving it to the weekend before Christmas is a great idea.
Like many, I have conflicts but I'll be there some though.

73 and Season's Greetings to all. . . Dave
