Entries in the annual Islands on the Air (IOTA) contest have been a relative new experience for our contesters. However, being somewhat adventurous the event has been seen as an opportunity to venture further afield with the island of Ireland, both north and south being a particular favourite.
Please see below a resume of our progress in this event over the last few years. Sadly 2020 was a blank year with 2021 another entry from our site in the hills but hopefully there will be adventures further afield soon.
