[UK-CONTEST] IOTA 2005 - ZL6QH

[Chris Tran ZL1CT]

Hello all

I am activating ZL6QH in the IOTA contest next weekend - I will be looking
especially for UK stations and UK Island stations - ZL6QH is on OC-036.
Please QSL via ZL2AOH.

Having operated from EU-124, I echo Lionel and Steve's disappointment at the
removal of the Isle of Anglesey from the IOTA list. Anglesey was one of the
few places in the UK where a team had a chance of winning the Multi-op
Island category - as far as I can see there is no chance of that category
ever being won by a UK group again, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong by
MD4K or GU8D or whoever.

Please visit  www.qsl.net/zl1v   for some photos of the ZL6QH contest
station. There are photos there of the new 20m European long-path yagi
(designed and constructed by 2005 Commonwealth Medal winner Brian Miller
ZL1AZE) which is performing well (and surviving the gales so far!).
Unfortunately the ZL6QH station is going to have to move in the next year or
two - the whole area is being redeveloped as an electricity wind-farm (70
turbines each 125m high) but I'm sure operation under the ZL6QH callsign
will continue once relocated.
