Published on the IOTA website today;
Although increases in charges are never welcome, we have come to the conclusion that we have no alternative but to revise some of them upwards to cover increased costs that we are having to meet, following recent significant currency exchange variations in the financial markets.We are faced also with a continuing small shortfall in the Friends of IOTA Appeal funds to meet the cost of the IT project to rewrite the programme software.
This project will revolutionise the way that IOTA credits can be obtained by allowing QSO matches from your log with islanders’ logs on Club Log. This must provide huge financial savings for award chasers. The more than 50% increase in applications since the introduction of a degree of this on the existing IT system has made us confident that by taking on this major development we are meeting the wishes of a large section of the IOTA community. Finally, any newly formed company needs working capital and we have very little of this at the moment.
Participants who have been waiting for the 1000 Islands Trophy will be pleased to know that from January onwards we will be in a position to supply as we have identified a source and placed a major order. The list of charges applying from 1 January 2017 can be seen here.
G3KMA, 13 Dec 2016
Today I have been speaking with Robert 3B9FR. He informs me that he has had a problem with his Computer and that ALL qso’s between the 17th October 2016 to the 06th December 2016 have been lost.
He has no back up logs and has lost approximately 600 qso’s. His last log sent to me was the 17th of October also so as he says, the QSO’s are lost.
Please pass this message around your friends and maybe they can try to work him again 😉
Great news from DX World is keeping us guessing 😉
”DX-World has learned that a major IOTA DXpedition to a brand new island group is being planned for mid-2017. Up to six operators will stage this activity with 3-4 days on air from the island.
The group has been listed in every past and current edition of the IOTA Directory but never before activated….Stay tuned for more details in early 2017”
…..I am hoping I need it 😉
The Group activating the rare IOTA in A7 have now added their new Logo and Team Members to their website.
Team is: A71AM, A71AV, A71BI, A71EM, A71GO, A75GM, A75GT, E76AA, E78AA, EI5GM, EI9FBB & MM0NDX.

We would like to say thank you to the following Radio Amateurs that have supported our outgoing bureau by donating out of date old IRCs which are used to fund our bureau:
Olof G0CKV will again be QRV from Rodrigues as 3B9HA 24th November to 12th December 2016 in particular during the CQWW CW Contest but also focusing on the low bands outside the contest.
From Olof ”Please DO NOT send your cards via the bureau. There was a time when I loved to receive all those cards but there is now not enough time left in my life to collect them. Please use OQRS to request bureau cards.
Apologies for delays in responding to QSL requests. As from October 2016 Charles has kindly offered to help me and the backlog will soon be sorted.”
QSL via M0OXO OQRS or Direct Post Mail.
