The annual Islands on the Air (IOTA) Contest is a popular event for our contesters who have over the years participated from islands around the UK & Ireland but also from our site in the foothills of the Pennines.
Please see below a resume of our progress in this event over the last few years. Sadly 2020 was a blank year with 2021 another entry from our site in the hills but hopefully there will be adventures further afield soon.
