IOTA

摘要

Winners of the three IOTA Shell Trophies awarded by the IOTA Committee for DXpedition performance in 1999 were announced at the RSGB HF and IOTA Convention at Windsor on 13 October. The trophy for the Most Cou rageous IOTA DXpedition was awarded jointly to Giuseppe de Gasperin, I2YDX, and Roberto Zanchin, IK2WXZ, for their E30LA and E30MA operations from the Dahlak Islands AF-038; Sheikh Said Island, AF-080; and Gerebsasa Island, AF-081. The operators saw their activity from the last island, Gerebsasa, cut short by news that the main airport was under attack by Ethiopian warplanes. As this could prevent them leaving Eritrea, it was quite an inducement not to hang around.
