BLAST from the Past: RSGB IOTA Contest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In preparation for this weekend's RSGB IOTA contest I took a look into the Radiosport
WaY-Back machine at previous IOTA GiGs I have written about.

For the 2021 IOTA event, WQ6X will be operating from W7AYT's QTH in Concord, attempting to leverage the wire antennas and the 3-el Long John yagi for 10-m into some sort of island hunting exercise.  We only have 24 hours (12:00z to 12:00z) to log as many islands as we can.  

As to what constitutes and island, that in and of itself is an interesting study.

IOTA resources.

LooKing backwards the previous IOTA GiGs include:

  • [X] 2020 - WQ6X JoTs a few ThoTs about Juggling BoTs in IOTA
  • [X] 2019 - WQ6X Runs best IOTA Contest EVER
  • [X] 2017 -  WQ6X Dabbles in RSGB IOTA GIG

There's really NoT much more to say for the moment.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The REAL Question is, what will the 2021 RSGB IOTA GiG be like with this
year's considerably improved solar cycle behind it?

Do YOU ever run the RSGB IOTA GiG?

Is WQ6X in one of THOSE Logs?
