Topband: Stew Beef

[Larry Burke]

Somebody's got to be the curmudgeon here -- guess I'll volunteer. Not everyone on Topband is excited to see this. 

Let me see if I've got this right. First there was the Stew, then the pre-Stew (a contest to get ready for a contest), next a Summer Stew. Now there's going to be a Spring Stew? Are we eventually going to see a January Stew, February Stew, March Stew....? Maybe a Continuous Stew? So much Stew that Campbell's can't give it away? This, on top of all the other contests on the band? 

Anyone attempting to DX during these periods is SOL what with the clicks, non-stop CQ machines and inconsiderate plopping down on the rare clear spots that any non-contesting DX has managed to find. 

Is a four-times-a year contest with basically the same objectives really necessary?
