Topband: The 13 Edition of The Stew Perry

[Lew Sayre]

160M Contesters,
     The Boring Amateur Radio Club thanks all those who participated in
the 13th running of The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge.  The conditions
for the contest seemed as good as the majority of the combatants.
     The robot is eager to accept your log, so send it in-even if you don't
think
it's much.
     We'd like to also pay special attention to the Plaque Donors and Clubs
that are listed below who have sponsored the categories which are listed.
There will probably be further plaques sponsored by The Boring Amateur Radio

Club as the adjudicating process will spotlight RF accomplishments that
will need to be acclaimed.
