[CQ-Contest] EJ0GI (IOTA EU-006): CW op sought

[Gerard Lynch]

This is very, very last minute, but because of late withdrawals we at 
EJ0GI have only one real died-in-the-wool CW operator for the IOTA 
contest (me), and although it's very last minute, if anyone can run 
CW in a contest and is interested in coming to Ireland to do the IOTA 
contest, we'd love to have them.  IOTA takes place on the last 
weekend of this month.

Last year we were 8th in the World DXpedition from EU-006 -

- and the pileups on CW are enormous.  But we were also world 1st in 
amount of beer drunk and amount laughed!

We operate from a small island off the west coast of Ireland, but if 
anyone can get a cheap flight to Belfast, Dublin or Shannon, we can 
get you the rest of the way OK.

For purely touristic reasons, the Aran Islands are well worth 
visiting, Inisheer, the little island we operate from is a peach of a 
place  - just don't worry too much about the sunbathing gear!  Most 
of us stay in dorms in the island's Youth Hostel, but there a 
reasonably priced hotel just across the street for those of a more 
genteel disposition.
