IOTA SWL CONTEST ---> The Mediterraneo DX Club, SWL Section, is proud to
invite all SWLs to the IOTA SWL Contest. The SWL Section, discontinued in
2005, has been recovered by the MDXC/SWL in cooperation with the RSGB HFCC
and will take place in parallel to the IOTA Contest, from 12 UTC on 29 July
to 12 UTC on 30 July 2006. Just like HAMs, SWLs have to heard stations in
Contest, IOTA or non-IOTA, but listening to IOTA stations means more points,
and islands are also multipliers. SWLs are required to log callsign and
message of the station heard and callsign of the correspondent.
E-mail logs should be sent with a single attachment, preferably in Cabrillo.
This format is recommended in order to cross-check the SWL logs with the HAM
logs, already in Cabrillo. Being very difficult to find a logging program
able to export an acceptable Cabrillo format for SWLs, Marek SP7DQR kindly
provided a software, the "IOTA SWL Cabrillo", able to convert the paper logs
into Cabrillo format for the IOTA SWL Contest.
Rules have been translated in five languages, English, Italian, French,
German and Spanish, thanks to the help of all the SWL community.
The "GEOFF WATTS Plaque", to honour the founder of the IOTA Programme, as
well as a number of certificates will be presented by the MDXC.
Software, full rules and previous results are available at
