[UK-CONTEST] RSGB IOTA Contest -- TM7O, EU-032

[Ed -- GW3SQX]

IOTA Contest -- shameless plug!

I'll be staying with some friends on the Ile d'Oleron for a week including
the weekend of the IOTA contest, so will activate EU-032 for the CW section.
I will be using the call TM7O during the contest.

By the way, the procedure for obtaining a French special call (TMnX, TMnXX
or TMnXXX) for a short period is straightforward, as long as you have a
smattering of French, and a full UK callsign (oh, and can produce a cheque
for 24 euros).  I'd be happy to help anyone else who would like
to do this.  It's advisable to try and find a call that hasn't been used
before (they recycle them) -- if you want a 2x1, this can be harder.  And,
as has been pointed out elsewhere, all French overseas territories
(FM, FG, etc.) are issued with the TO series of special calls, which
means that you can't really tell where people are, so it's not necessarily
beneficial to have one from this series.
