Greetings to All Radio Jousters and Jesters, The various committees of The Boring Amateur Radio Club effusively thank the Operators who participated in the recently concluded 2017 Stew Perry TopBand Distance Challenge. You may visit the web site at http://www.kkn.net/stew/ and find the link to the 2017 current results. You may be amazed to watch your score grow as received logs are entered and you are credited for working certain stations with certain power levels. It is in the rules, as I'm sure you've assimilated by now. Below are listed the Plaques and the Radio Stalwarts who sponsor these plaques. When you meet one of these sponsors in person be sure to buy them a beverage and tell them what a Competitor they are...because it is true.

It would be a very Boring world if all the ice cream in the available world was the same flavor! 73 and I remain, Lew w7ew The Boring Amateur Radio Club Committee on TopBand Maintenance _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
