Greetings to TopBand Operators Worldwide, The 2018 running of the Stew Perry TopBand DX challenge is finished. Now the scoring work remains to be done. Please send in your log promptly! You can watch your score grow as QRP and low power stations send in their logs. You will receive a multiplication factor when you work a qrp or low power station for that QSO. You will find the initial results and the growing score base at: http://www.kkn.net/stew/ which also tells you how to submit your log. Please be patient as all good things take a modicum of time to get started Our fearless log checker will be eagerly awaiting your logs so send those logs in today! The nearly complete plaque list is listed below. There may be a few additions as Ops consider honoring categories yet unseen and maybe a few deletions if the funds aren't received to sponsor the plaque. A big thank you to all the plaque sponsors from The Boring Amateur Radio Club.
