Stew Perry Topband Distance Challenge

---

The Stew Perry Topband Distance Challenge has established itself as the “friendly” 160 meter contest.  While it enjoys strong activity, the band is slightly less crowded than the major 160 meter contests.  This provides more opportunities for the “non super-stations” to make intercontinental QSOs. 

Results for the 2009 Stew Perry are below. The next pre-stew is on October 23/24^th and the big stew will be on Dec 18/19^th, 2010.

Operate a maximum of 14 hours.  Exchange your four digit grid square. Click here for full rules.

Cabrillo logs for both events get submitted to tbdc@contesting.com. 

If you logged on paper or with a program that doesn’t support Cabrillo output – you can use the nifty tool WA7BNM has developed. You can find it here: http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/. This is a better solution than the old INSTEW.EXE program.
