Hams I’ve been talking to here in Hawaii have been using openings on 20 meters between 7 – 9 PM local to reach Europe on CW. # I’m working on a glossary page for my site http://k6dch.com. It’s not up yet. Will announce it’s arrival. Wow there’s a lot of ham terms! # Last week I worked Wisconsin, New Zealand and Japan on 30 meters using PSK31. Then worked Japan again using RTTY. Sunspots Shmumspots! #

Neighbor in Hawaii worked Estonia and others on 20 meters yesterday morning! # And what’s more interesting is my neighbor worked Estonia (and others) from Hawaii using RTTY! # Iota stands for Islands On The Air. Amateur radio operators track nearly everything they do based on type or location or something. There are awards for working all the states in the US, working all continents on the planet, working countries, working counties, and others. Well there are awards for working islands and the islands are given IOTA designators, for tracking purposes. Below I have compiled a list of the IOTA designations for the islands in the Pacific Ocean, provided here for your reference (and mine since I live right in the middle of the Pacific!): OC009 KC6 – Palau OC010 V63 – Pohnpei OC011 V63 – . . .
