[UK-CONTEST] IOTA

[Tom Wylie]

Just because YOU cannot put up even a dipole or small vertical for the 
HF bands, doesn't make it a contest for the elite.   Thre is NO 160m in 
IOTA.......

I acn only be competitive on 10/15 and 20m as my small city garden does 
not allow me an antenna for 160/80 and even 40m but I would never call 
those who take part - "elite" in any sense.   There are many stations 
who go out portable with G5RVs and fibrestick verticals - so dont whinge 
- get off your ass and take part!
