>>> YX0A & YX0LIX This year's event will take place on 29-30 July, from 12
UTC on the Saturady until 12 UTC on the Sunday. It is a combined SSB/CW
contest, and includes the bands 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10m. Every year
expeditioners activate many island groups, and it is easily possible to
qualify for the basic IOTA-CC-100 Award during the contest weekend. During
the 2005 contest, for example, at least 162 island groups were active, and
over 1500 entrants submitted logs. For full rules please visit
http://www.contesting.co.uk/hfcc/iota.shtml or contact the Contest Manager,
Don Field, G3XTT (iotacontest@rsgbhfcc.org). A free logging program (SDI, SD
for IOTA) designed especially for the contest is available at
http://www.ei5di.com/
IOTA SWL CONTEST ---> Discontinued in 2005, it has been picked up by the
Mediterraneo DX Club (SWL Section), in cooperation with the RSGB HF Contests
Committee, and it will be held in parallel with the IOTA Contest (29-30
July). The "Geoff Watts Plaque", as well as a number of certificates, will be
presented by the MDXC. Please visit http://www.mdxc.org/swl for full
information (software included), or e-mail the Contest Manager Dan Rolla,
I1-12387 (iw1qla@tin.it).
LKK-80 AWARD ---> The Lviv Shortwave Club (Ukraine) and MK QTC Magazine
(Poland) sponsor the LKK-80 Award to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the
club. The award is for working a number of special stations in either Ukraine
and Poland, as well as current and honorary LKK members, from 1 to 31 May.
Full information is available at http://lkk-80.prv.pl/ [TNX UY5XE]
PIRATE ---> Hani, OD5TE reports that OD5RT was reported as being active on 30
metres (11 March) and 40 metres CW (9 and 20 February). Please note that this
was not the genuine Riad Tabbara, OD5RT (whose QSL route is not via OD5LN).
QSL VIA RU3SD ---> Vasily, RU3SD reports he still has logs and cards for
UA3SDK/0's activities in 1999 (Severnaya Zemlya, AS-042 and North Pole). He
is also the QSL manager for RU3SD/1, UE3SFF/ and UE3SDA. Direct requests
should be sent to Vasily Bardin, P.O. Box 1, Ryazan' 390000, Russia.
