IOTA Meeting Frequencies
The main meeting frequency is 14.260MHz. Other ones on SSB are 28.560, 28.460, 24.950, 21.260, 18.128, 7.055 and 3.755MHz. The CW frequencies are 28.040, 24.920, 21.040, 18.098, 14.040, 10.115 and 3530MHz. No specific CW frequency has been nominated on 7MHz but it is recommended that operations should include a frequency above 7.025 when the band is open to North America. These frequencies are not reserved for IOTA nets or the making of island QSOs but are shared with other users on a normal non-interference basis.
IOTA Contest
The IOTA Contest is organised by the RSGB's Contests Committee (formerly the HF Contests Committee), not by the IOTA Committee. Full details of the IOTA Contest, including the rules, can be found at the Contest Committee website.
