All - The annual Stew Perry 160 meter Distance Challenge is coming up this weekend. It starts at 1500Z on Dec 18th and runs for 24 hours. The exchange is your grid square and the points you get are proportional to the distance of the contact. Full rules and other information available at www.kkn.net/stew.
As usual - many of you have stepped forward to sponsor a plaque for this unique event. We have plaques for the Top Scores from many geographical areas: High Power Single-Op World, Europe, Africa, SE Asia CQ Zones 3, 22, 24, 25, 26-28 USA 5th call area Within 15 degrees of the equator There are also plaques for those using temporary antennas, a very lousy antenna or various sizes of small lots. Some of the stranger plaques include an award to the highest score only using search and pounce, highest # of QSOs with no busts, use of a vintage station, daytime only operation and one for the highest score from a first-time entrant. If you feel a plaque should be added to the list, there is still time to make your intentions known. Send me a direct email and we will work out the details. The plaques for the previous event will be shipping in the next week or two. We apologize for the delay. Hope to work many of you this weekend in one of the most enjoyable evenings you will have on the Topband. 73 Tree N6TR / K7RAT [email protected] _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
