The 25th IOTA contest takes place this weekend, for 24 hours from
1200 UTC on Saturday 29 July.

Rules at http://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2017/riota.shtml

SD V19.13, from www.ei5di.com/sd/sdsetup.exe includes IOTA.LST,
a list of announced island operations.  SD pre-fills the island
reference on a callsign match.

Some IOTA logging tips.
As you enter calls, SD pre-fills the continent (EU, NA etc) in the
IOTA Reference field - you never need to type it. If the station
you're working does not give an island reference, press Enter to
log the QSO.  There's no need to delete the "unwanted" continent,
it will not be logged.

To see a worked/wanted analysis, by band and mode, for any island,
type its reference in the Callsign field. Use Esc or Minus to
clear the field.
