[CQ-Contest] RSGB IOTA Contest 2001 - 28 / 29 July

[Lee Volante]

Hello,

I'd like to remind you that the RSGB's most popular contest, the Islands on
the Air Contest, takes place next weekend on 28/29 July from 1200Z till
1200Z.

The object of the contest is to promote contacts between stations in
qualifying Island groups and the rest of the world and to encourage
expeditions to IOTA Islands. Many IOTA Islands are very accessible and it is
relatively easy for small groups of amateurs or individuals to mount Island
expeditions for the contest.

Exchange - report, serial, and IOTA reference (if appropriate)   Stations
may be worked on both modes.

 Bands:  3.5 -> 28 MHz

Categories:

Single Op 12 Hr  (Mixed, Phone or CW)
Single Op 24 Hr  (Mixed, Phone or CW)
Single Op Assisted 12 Hr  (Mixed, Phone or CW)
Single Op Assisted 24 Hr  (Mixed, Phone or CW)
Multi Op (Mixed mode, Island stations only)

There is no world multi-op section.

Sections:   IOTA Island permanent station, IOTA Island DXpedition, IOTA
Island 100w DXpedition, World, SWL.

You can find the full rules, scoring, and log entries details on the RSGB HF
Contests' Committee website at
http://www.rsgbhfcc.org

The contest in the last few years has attracted around 1000 entrants, the
leaders making around 3000 QSOs in the 24 hours.    The increased activity
has also meant it is possible to work the 100 different IOTA references
needed for the basic award in a single weekend.   See
http://www.rsgbiota.org for more details.

The IOTA Contest has a new Contest Manager, Don Field G3XTT, who can be
reached at the email address iotacontest at rsgbhfcc.org

Entrants may wish to know that a purpose written IOTA Contest logging
program, which produces a correctly scored and formatted log,  is available
as freeware.   This is SDI  (Super Duper for IOTA) by Paul EI5DI - it can be
downloaded from EI5DI's website at www.ei5di.com
