Stew Perry warmup

This past weekend the Stew Perry challenge warmup "contest" took place. "Stew Perry, W1BB (SK), devoted much of his life to demonstrating what was possible on the 160M band and received 160M DXCC#1 on November 1, 1976.  Through his W1BB 160M Bulletins, which he circulated to others for free, he encouraged interest in the band for almost 60 years.  His role in the early transatlantic tests conducted in the 1930's inspired many amateurs on each side of the Atlantic to become involved with Topband.  Perhaps his most important contributions, though, were his efforts aimed at returning the band to Amateur use after WWII.   At the time of his death in 1990, Stew had about 156 post-war DXCC entities confirmed on Topband.  The community of 160M amateurs who today enjoy this difficult band owe a huge debt of gratitude to this humble, unassuming man who once named 160M the "Gentleman's Band".  (Thanks K1ZM).  I was awarded 160 meter DXCC #2159 in March 2012, 38 years later.Currently I have 104 countries confirmed.
This year I am committed to operating QRP only. QRP operators use 5 watts output or less. QRP on 160 meters from New England is extremely difficult!! My hat's off to AA1CA and W1FMR
who do it all the time. During the contest I didn't hear anything west of the great lakes. I did hear HK1R (Colombia) and E71A (Bosnia) . My farthest qso was with W4SSA in EL97 in Florida..
While operating in the contest Saturday evening I was also watching the Boston Red Sox win the American league pennant by beating the Detroit Tigers (5 - 2).
My totals were 85 contacts.  I also was called by K1PTF my friend Jim Francis. It was really nice to see Jim on the topband!!
