>>> IOTA ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION AT FRIEDRICHSHAFEN HAM RADIO <<<
A reminder about the major event to celebrate IOTA's 40th Anniversary
taking
place at Friedrichshafen in southern Germany during Ham Radio 2004. We
cannot
offer an IOTA operation there but we can do the next best thing and
celebrate
IOTA's 40th Birthday Party afloat on Bodensee (Lake Constance). We
have
chartered one of the Lake's famous steamers for a Buffet Dinner Cruise
on
Saturday 26 June to a nearby port. Participants will assemble at 1845
hours
at Friedrichshafen Harbour ready to set sail at 1915 with an expected
return
time around 2300 (note the amended times from those previously published).
Bookings are coming in fast. If you intend to participate, please book now
to
avoid disappointment. Tickets are GBP24 or 35 euros each, a price that
covers
the cost of the meal and the cruise. You can book on-line via the
RSGB
website at http://www.rsgbshop.org/shop/acatalog/ - click Booking Office
and
then IOTA 40th Anniversary Cruise. Those of you paying in euros may choose
to
purchase tickets via your eurozone checkpoint but do so quickly. Do not
rely
on getting tickets at the RSGB stand at the Convention as the
number
available there will be very limited. Get your tickets now and come,
enjoy
the party with us.

>>> IOTA DIRECTORY - 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION <<<
The 40th Anniversary Edition of the IOTA Directory is now available
for
purchase via the RSGB website at http://www.rsgbshop.org/shop/acatalog/ -
click Radio Books & CDs and then IOTA, or by telephone to Sales at
+44
(0)1707 659015. Larger than ever with 136 pages, this anniversary
edition
features an historical review, much of which has never previously
been
published as well as Geoff Watts' original IOTA list of 1964, fascinating
for
what it includes as well as for what it omits. It includes all you have
come
to expect of the Directory - the latest IOTA island listings,
DXpedition
stories, the Most Wanted List, and articles on how to get started in IOTA.
Readers, who have been active on the bands for several years and want help
in
identifying operations that count, will find the listing of
operations
accepted for credit quite invaluable. This listing was first introduced
in
the 2002 Directory and is now updated and expanded to cover the 650
rarest
IOTA groups. Using it could save you hours in preparing your application.
And
for the first time the Directory includes the current year's Honour Roll
and
other performance listings.
