I'm not keen on listening for hours and hours with no activity. I have
recently taken up a new challenge -- working JT65A on 160M

The point was not to disallow QRP, but to observe that when noise levels
are high a QRP signal is not likely to be heard.
Three important facts of life that every QRPer must firmly understand
are that 1) when you're run
that, not! Hi Hi

Perhaps during the summer months we should forgo QRP.

I know I tried very hard to participate last year,
mother nature had it in for us here in WTX DM91sk
if you check that list there were only two '5's listed
one was in MS the other in KY
but I'll for sure give it another try this year
any Stew Perry test, any time, QRPers will be there
if thunders
A couple of comments.
The June Stew is the weekend before field day.
There is activity from the IARU on 160 meters as multipliers count once per
band. I remember having some fun there for the first 5 or 10 minutes of
the contest back when there was a bit more activity from the South
Pacific. Al
IARU HF contest isn't Field Day. They are two weeks apart.

I beleive there is the issue holding the June Stew on Field Day; there will
not be many serious efforts on top band.
Do we need four hour top band contests or an occasional QSO party?
Something less formal than a full blown contest?

The problem with that approach is that no one attempting a serious
effort in IARU is going to be on 160M.

I like the Stew, however, it typically falls at a time when I've traveled away
from home for the holidays and don't have access to a station or am actually
traveling during the Stew weekend. Bummer.
This year, the timing was different enough to operate the event and condx
turned out to be less

While I LOVE the concept of the Stew, it seriously lacks critical mass,
even in the main event in December. As a result, I always finding
myself taking frequent breaks
IARU is an all-band contest, be a lot of topbanders on other bands for
score.
Four 24 hour Stew's a year is a good deal, at the equinoxes and the
soltices. Then you can forget the practice Stew. Also get into the
business that for spring, summer, fall there's only 24 hours to get logs
in after

Please no! Let the Stew be the Stew. It is the best and fairest TB
contest ever devised by mankind. I wouldn't mind if we had one every
month especially at the summer solstice, vernal and autumnal equinox
when those in the southern hemisphere could have even more kick. Plus

I'll throw out a related suggestion. Why not use the IARU HF contest as the
"summertime" 160 contest ? It's 24 hours long and has excellent worldwide
activity on all bands except 160 meters.

Dear OMs and Yls
A July Stew Perry is an excellent idea!!!We need something to temp
more onto the band during the noisy season. One tunes the band a number of
times and hears nothing and so resorts to HF.A good effort in high
summer for the northern latitudes might clear our ears.
