[UK-CONTEST] 2006 IOTA Contest - CW Only.

[Nigel G3TXF]

G3TXF did full time CW-only in IOTA, with occasional assistance from DX-Cluster: SO(A)24hr-CW-Only.

Surprised to find plenty of short skip on 20m and 15m on the Sunday morning. On the other hand, DX propagation was poor. Barely worked any JA's on 20m - just a few weak ones. A nice piece of IOTA DX was FO/K9MD who was happily handing out IOTA Contest serial numbers from OC-114 in the Australes. [Although you could argue that KH8SI was THE RAREST island on during the 2006 IOTA Contest!]

Worked six all-time new CW IOTAs during the event: AS-081, AS-122, AS-158, NA-113, OC-133 and OC-245. 

Many thanks to the DX-peditioners for putting on these, and all the other 2006 IOTA Contest operations!
