If you are not an IOTA chaser, you can skip reading this... Recently Cezar VE3LYC operated from Tatakoto as TX0T which was then qualified as IOTA OC-298. There were several past operations from this atoll. These will now also count as IOTA OC-298 instead of IOTA OC-066. If you have received credit for IOTA OC-066 for one of these past operations, you will lose that credit. You will need to find another QSO with IOTA OC-066 to submit for IOTA credit.
With the help of DX spots and DL6KVA, I have identified the following past operations from Tatakoto Atoll. The information on the IOTA World web site does not include dates but does include callsigns: https://www.iota-world.org/islands-on-the-air/iota-groups-islands/group/1175.html The next country file will have the following callsigns associated with the new IOTA (they are listed chronologically): FO0CLA 2000-04-20,2000-05-23 FO0CLA 2000-06-27,2000-08-01 FO5RH 2004-07-20,2004-07-21 FO5RH 2005-09-18,2005-09-27 FO5RH 2008-05-14, TX5TES 2010-07-11,2010-07-25 FO8AA/P 2015-03-01,2015-04-07 TX0T 2020-10-30,2020-11-05 Note that FO0CLA (who later became FO5RH) operated from many other islands in French Polynesia starting in mid-1999, so the start and end dates are important. I have done my best to determine the correct dates. There may have been other operations from Tatakoto, other than the dates given above. If you have a QSL from such an operation, please let me know and I will make the necessary changes to the country file. When the next country file is released later this week, you can use Multiple QSO Operations | Check IOTA to determine which QSOs you may need to change. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, https://www.ad1c.us <http://www.ad1c.us> ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
