[UK-CONTEST] OT: Op wanted for Rockall trip

[Steve Bunting]

Hi Folks,

Not contest related, but following a work related coincidence I have 
just come of the phone with Andy Strangeway who is organizing three 
trips to Rockall this year. It turns out he is looking for radio 
amateurs to go with him. The cost is £1900(ish) and his first trip is on 
May 11-18th so time is short to find an op. He has had a few amateurs 
talk to him already, often in baffling technical terms (why do we do 
that to people?) and he just wants someone who is fit and can go along! 
I have agreed to publicise this further in the amateur community as I 
can't go myself. I do not participate in the IOTA programme, but I am 
sure there are some contesters out there who would be happy to either go 
themselves or push this further into IOTA community.

A google search produced some links with contact and further information:
