Steve:

You may be correct about the Stu Perry contest being the end of December, 
but isn't there a 160 meter contest sometime in late November or early 
December?

I'll have to check out the contest calendar, but I hope I'm right, because 
I'm really anxious for some 160 meter action in the coming weeks.
