Attention 160M addicts! 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.

The next Stew Perry is coming on December 27th/28th 2008. Click here for full rules. With conditions on 160M like they’ve been so far this year, personal DXCC totals should get a nice boost!
