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. 

Thanks for your support of the 2009 Stew Perry. There was lots of activity. Now send your log in!!

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.

We are taking suggestions on when the next Stew should be held. Christmas holiday (December 25^th) falls on the normal day of the contest in 2010. Should it be on the Saturday following Christmas? Or should we move it up a week? Should we just hold it on December 25^th? Should we move it up and hold it in October? Your suggestions are welcome. Use the mail link at the bottom of this page.
