[SD-User] IOTA Contest

[Paul O'Kane]

You probably don't need a reminder, but the IOTA Contest
takes place from 12:00 UTC Saturday 29th July to 11:59 UTC
Sunday 30th.

Rules at www.contesting.co.uk/hfcc/rules/riota.shtml

Please use SDI for this event - it's not supported by SD.
SDI runs on any Windows PC and is free from 
www.ei5di.com/sd/sdisetup.exe.  Since the start of this
month there's been 1300 downloads.

You can 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.
This means, for example, it's better to work island
stations at 35 per hour than others at 150 per hour.

After the contest, use SDICHECK (included with SDI) to
prepare your Cabrillo .LOG file.  Email it, as an
attached file, to iota.logs at rsgbhfcc.org.
