Islands On The Air SWL Contest 2009
The aim of the IOTA SWL Contest, held in parallel with the IOTA Contest, is to
promote the interest of the SWL stations for the Contests and to encourage the
SWL applications to the awards of the IOTA Programme.
Remember that the IOTA Programme was established back in 1964 by the late Geoff
Watts, BRS-3129, the only SWL ever inducted in the CQ DX Hall of Fame.
