We are making a strong commitment to the Islands on the Air Contest (IOTA) this coming year! We have booked 15 camping pitches at Seal Shore Campsite on the Isle of Arran for the period 23- 27 July 2015 as well as some rooms in the nearby hotel. We will have sole use of a nice warm and dry operating room that has only been put in at the site in the last couple of years so we will not need generators, etc as we will be operating off the mains, with internet access as well! The expedition will be a major boost to our contesting and those coming along, including several members of the newly formed 93 Contest Group, will be having a great time. Look out for our club calls GM5TO, GS5TO/P and well as that of the Sheffield HF DX Group, GM2AS/P. These calls will be activated over the days we are on site. The call to be used in the ITOA contest has yet to be decided but it may very well be GM5TO.
