The RSGB IOTA Contest is the most popular contest in the RSGB HF Contests calendar, attracting entries from around the world.
The RSGB IOTA Contest, using the Islands on the Air concept, was created in 1993. This is now a major international event, attracting thousands of participants from all over the world. Radio Amateurs will be travelling to islands around the globe, and putting them on the air, making contacts with other islands and with those who are chasing islands.
OBJECTIVE: To promote contacts between stations in IOTA island groups and the rest of the world, and to encourage expeditions to IOTA islands.
BANDS & MODES: 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz; CW and/or SSB
Stations send a signal report and serial number, with stations on islands sending their IOTA reference number. The IOTA website www.iota-world.org has a full list of IOTA islands, and other information relating to the IOTA program.
