Tonight we meet at CNS School for a Social Informal meeting and Bright Sparks for our younger members who will each be making an Animated Bell Christmas decoration.

And don't forget you can bring anything radio related you want to give away to others at any informal CNS meeting on our informal 'Show and Share' table.

60 Years of Islands on the Air...UPDATE

Last Wednesdays NARC Live with Roger G3KMA was about 60 years of IOTA and you can watch the recording we made here:

https://youtu.be/J_5FW3y6SEA

Roger has asked me to share the following comments following my question about whether Remote operation was allowed for awards:

"IOTA does accept for credit remote operations within certain limits: if the station and controller are within the same DXCC country and no more than 500 km apart. We do not accept for credit operations where there are remote operators in a variety of different countries, often thousands of miles away, operating the IOTA station. We also do not accept operations where the control station is at sea except in one particular set of circumstances.

We do accept for credit digital modes e.g. FT8, FT4 where the operation includes contemporaneous direct initiation by the operators on both sides of the contact. Unattended operations are not acceptable for IOTA credit"
