Greetings Even More Frozen TopBanders, The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge starts very soon. If you're not exactly sure when, or unsure of rules...like packet, running 10KW or public drunkenness please navigate to this site to read: http://www.kkn.net/stew/ Below is the current list of sponsored plaques and their donors. You can join this intelligent and good looking group for the paltry sum of $60 or $63 and emailing me with your proposed category.

Winner gets a new, fresh Flying Doctors of VK baseball hat When you submit your log to our ever vigilant log checker please include which plaque or plaques you're striving to attain. Some categories might require some sort of proof that you met the criteria for that plaque. As in "Top Score- Moose Mobile" might require a photo of the antenna on the moose and particulars about the connections and settings. We apologize to WO9S who was not correctly identified as the winner of the 2015 plaque: "KL7RA Memorial, Top Score, S/O, LP Central Division." This blunder has been corrected on the plaque page on the above mentioned website. An internal investigation by The Boring Amateur Radio Club Committee on Screw-ups is on-going. We are sorry, WO9S! There is still time to sponsor a plaque. If you are considering doing that please let me know very soon. A final or nearly final listing of the available plaques to be fought over on the 160M RF field will appear roughly 48 hours from now. 73 and I remain, Lew w7ew The Boring Amateur Radio Club Committee on News and Apologies w...@arrl.net _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
