RSGB IOTA Contest 2025 the 26 and 25 July.

 https://www.contestcalendar.com/contestdetails.php?ref=75

The next RSGB IOTA contest will take place on July 26-27, 2025.

The RSGB IOTA (Islands On The Air) contest is back, and for many radio amateurs, it's a highlight of the season. Organized by the Radio Society of Great Britain, this popular contest traditionally takes place on the last weekend of July and is the perfect opportunity to activate islands or work on the HF bands.

With participants from every continent, this competition is one of the most international and lively on the calendar. The format is simple yet demanding: work as many island stations as possible in 24 hours. This ensures intense activity on 80 to 10 meters, with an emphasis on strategy, propagation knowledge, and logging discipline.

Whether you're participating from an island or your own station, this is an excellent opportunity to work on new DXCC entities, IOTA references, and prefixes. For expedition teams, it's often a great combination of adventure, technology, and camaraderie.

Now's the time to plan, update your recording software, test your antennas, and maybe even book a venue for IOTA. Time is running out; so get ready, because the next RSGB IOTA competition promises to be another unforgettable radio adventure.

IOTA refers to the RSGB's "Islands in the Air" awards. A beginner's guide to the IOTA accreditation system and more information about the IOTA competition are available on the IOTA competition information page and FAQ.

A beginner's guide to entering the competition is available here:

  Next RSGB IOTA Contest: 26-27 July 2025

The RSGB IOTA Contest, using the Islands on the Air concept, was created in 1993. This is now a major international event, attracting thousands of participants from all over the world. Radio Amateurs will be travelling to islands around the globe, and putting them on the air, making contacts with other islands and with those who are chasing islands.

Contest bands are 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m, both CW and phone. The duration is 24 hours, starting at 12:00 UTC on Saturday (1 p.m. UK time). Stations send a signal report and serial number, with stations on islands sending their IOTA reference number, described below.

The next RSGB IOTA Contest is 26-27 July 2025, and a guide for newcomers to the contests is at www.rsgbcc.org/hf/information/iotahelp.shtml .

The IOTA Contest is based on the RSGB Islands on the Air awards programme which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. The IOTA idea was conceived in 1964 by British short wave listener Geoff Watts (SK), who imagined that those of us who live in crowded cities would love to set up a station on a sunny beach among palm trees. This prospect is appealing to Radio Amateurs, even if the island in question might not be further away from the UK mainland than the Isle of Wight!

Geoff realised that there were too many islands in the world to enumerate, so he grouped together islands, particularly when they were small. In the IOTA programme numbers are allocated to each group using a continental prefix. The basic IOTA award requires contacts with 100 islands and groups including at least one from each continent. Entrants can obtain award credit for QSOs made in the RSGB IOTA Contest.

The IOTA Reference, sent by Island Stations in the IOTA Contest, consists of two letters indicating the continent, and a number indicating the allocated reference within that continent.

For example:

EU115	EU = Europe	Ireland
AF032	AF = Africa	Zanzibar
AN003	AN = Antarctica	Heard Island
AS020	AS = Asia	Taiwan
NA107	NA = North America	Martinique
OC225	OC = Oceania	Turtle Islands
SA004	SA = South America	Galapagos Greek Islands https://www.qsl.net/sv2ael/sv2ael.files/sviota.htm

Next year in 2026 a Islands of the world contest open to SWL and amateur radio operators

Concours RSGB IOTA  (Islands On The Air)

12/07/2025 Le prochain concours RSGB IOTA aura lieu les 26 et 27 juillet 2025. Le concours RSGB IOTA (Islands On The Air) revient et, pour de nombreux radioamateurs, il s'agit d'un moment fort de la saison. Organisé par la Radio Society of Great Britain, ce concours populaire se déroule traditionnellement le dernier week-end de juillet et constitue l'occasion idéale d'activer des îles ou de travailler sur les bandes HF. Avec des participants venus de tous les continents, cette compétition est l'une des plus internationales et des plus animées du calendrier. Le format est simple mais exigeant : travailler sur un maximum de stations insulaires en 24 heures. Cela garantit une activité intense sur 80 à 10 mètres, en mettant l'accent sur la stratégie, la connaissance de la propagation et la discipline du log. Que vous participiez depuis une île ou votre propre station, c'est une excellente occasion de travailler sur de nouvelles entités DXCC, des références IOTA et des préfixes. Pour les équipes d'expédition, c'est souvent une excellente combinaison d'aventure, de technologie et de camaraderie. C'est le moment de planifier, de mettre à jour votre logiciel d'enregistrement, de tester vos antennes et peut-être même de réserver un lieu pour l'IOTA. Le temps presse ; alors préparez-vous, car le prochain concours RSGB IOTA promet d'être une nouvelle aventure radio inoubliable. IOTA fait référence aux récompenses « Îles sur l'air » de la RSGB. Un guide d'initiation au système d'accréditation IOTA et plus d'informations sur le concours IOTA sont disponibles sur la page d'information et la FAQ du concours IOTA . Un guide du débutant pour participer au concours est disponible ici : https://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/information/iotahelp.shtml Pour toute question concernant les règles, veuillez envoyer un e-mail à hf.query@rsgbcc.org Merci à Ronny Plovie ON6CQ pour l'info

Field day contest USA and CANADA

 1800Z, Jun 28 to 2100Z, Jun 29

https://www.arrl.org/field-day

ARRL Field Day is the most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend of June, more than 31,000 radio amateurs gather with their clubs, groups or simply with friends to operate from remote locations.

They all have the same taste !!!!!

They have all the same taste

Field Day is an annual amateur radio contest, widely sponsored by IARU regions and member organizations, encouraging emergency communications preparedness^[1] among amateur radio operators. In the United States, it is typically the largest single emergency preparedness exercise in the country, with over 30,000 operators participating each year. Field Day is always the fourth full weekend of June, beginning at 18:00 UTC Saturday and running through 20:59 UTC Sunday.

Since the first ARRL Field Day in 1933, radio amateurs throughout North America have practiced the rapid deployment of radio communications equipment in environments ranging from operations under tents in remote areas to operations inside Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). Operations using emergency and alternative power sources are highly encouraged, since electricity and other public infrastructures are often among the first to fail during a natural disaster or severe weather.

To determine the effectiveness of the exercise and of each participant's operations, there is an integrated competitive component, and many clubs also engage in concurrent leisure activities (e.g., camping, cookouts). Operations typically last a continuous twenty-four hours, requiring scheduled relief operators to keep stations on the air. Additional contest points are awarded for experimenting with unusual modes, making contacts via satellite, and involving youth in the activity.

Field Day stresses emergency preparedness. Frequently, entire radio clubs get involved and assemble a portable radio station in a field or park. Some might use quickly deployable portable antennas while other might erect more elaborate radio masts and towers supporting several antennas. Generators or solar power provide electricity to amateur radio transceivers, which may be located in tents, cars, recreational vehicles, or other portable shelters.

Officially, field day in the US is an operating event and not a contest.^[2] However, it operates exactly like a contest, but without awards.

The competitive aspect of a Field Day operating event is to contact as many stations as possible in the given time period (twenty-four hours, during a weekend, if setup commences before the contest starts, or 27 hours if setup commences at contest start time) using the portable station. Each station will exchange information with other participating stations. For the North American Field Day, the exchange consists of the station call sign, the name of the ARRL-recognized section from which the station is operating, and a class designator which indicates the number of transmitters concurrently used at the station and information about the type of electrical power source being used.

The contest portion of Field Day has two purposes. The primary purpose is to test the group's ability to plan operations that can be effective for an entire twenty-four-hour period, including operator endurance and adequate numbers of operators for a shift operation. The secondary portion is to demonstrate the technical proficiency of the station that has been hastily constructed for the purpose; in theory a better station will be capable of emergency operations in dire conditions. Such a station will also be capable of making more contacts during the contest portion of Field Day. Point systems are structured to motivate emergency preparedness activities, such as designating a safety officer for the station or incorporating auxiliary power capabilities.

The rules governing this activity are published by the sponsor of the particular Field Day exercise.
