Just in case anyone has forgotten, the IOTA Contest
takes place from 12:00 UTC Saturday 26th July to
11:59 UTC Sunday 27th.
Rules at www.vhfcc.org/hfcc/rules/2008/riota.shtml
You should use SDI for this event - it's not supported
by SD. SDI V14.07 runs on Windows PCs and is free
from www.ei5di.com/sd/sdisetup.exe.
Work everyone on the five contest bands from 80m to
10m. Exchange 59(9) + serial. Island stations also
send their IOTA reference and, in general, are worth
5 times as many points as non-island stations.
A separate file, IOTA08.LST, lists Callsigns and IOTA
references for announced island operations. When you
use the LOAD command to load IOTA08, SDI will auto-fill
IOTA references on a callsign match. You can get this
from www.ei5di.com/sd/iota08.zip.
If you normally LOAD your own .LST file, add the
contents of IOTA08.LST to it - before starting SDI.
After the contest, use SDICHECK (included with SDI)
to prepare your Cabrillo .LOG file. Email it, as an
attached file, to iota.logs@rsgbhfcc.org.
Please mention SDI in your Cabrillo soapbox comments.
73,
Paul EI5DI
