                                     >>> 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]

metres (11 March) and 40 metres CW (9 and 20 February). Please note that this

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.
