Greetings to All Contesters with 160M Blood in their Arteries The Stew Perry TopBand Distance Challenge, sponsored by The Boring Amateur Radio Club, is less than 24 hours away. Go memorize the breathtaking and unique rules at http://www.kkn.net/stew/ Then read the list below of Radio Stalwarts and the categories that they have sponsored. Focus on which plaques you wish to compete for and attempt to win. Then remember when you submit your log to include that category and perhaps the sponsor's call in your soapbox musings. Please appreciate fully each category, as some have more subtleties than others in their construct.
