[UK-CONTEST] IOTA 2005 - ZL1CT thoughts on EU124

[Dave Sharred]

With thanks to Andrew; I of course didn't mean to write this as it
appeared!!

I meant all non EU-005 UK entries would welcome being called by UK stations,
in EU005; since they would all be 15 pointers!!!
That includes all of the declared operations, many of which were published
this week on this reflector

Dave, not quite true.  UK stations are only worth 15 points if they are
on a different IOTA reference.  If a station in EU-005 works another
station in EU-005 then it only counts for 3 points.

Direct quote from the rules at
http://www.contesting.co.uk/hfcc/rules/riota.shtml

7.1 QSO Points – All entrants can work anyone, island or non-island.
Contacts with non-island stations count 3 points. Contacts with IOTA
islands count 15 points except that, if you are on an island, contacts
with your own IOTA reference count 3 points.
