IF 2017 RESULTS

Dear friends, dear members,

 

As the IR manager for IR island activities in the 2017 contest, and also as an island activator and hunter, I wanted to congratulate ALL teams from all groups, and thank ALL hunters.

Special TNX to the Island Festival Organisation for the great work (fast answer to all queries, and lightening fast results calculation!!!).

I already looking forward to participating to the 2018 event! 2017 was a success TNX to all involved.

 

Sincere BRAVO to the winners in each category !

 

Now, as the manager for IR activities and as a vice President of the group, I want to say a few words to the IR members: 

Guys, I'm delighted by the EFFORT you've done ! Great activating and great hunting ! 

International Radio made the show again ! We can do it if we really want ! 

The group is ALIVE and we have TOP quality members – I hope many "sleeping" members or members mostly active for other groups will consider again using the mythical IR callsign.

We have a fantastic callsign, and incredible history and a great "way of life" (The Spirit), so enjoy the radio and help us making IR BIG again !

 

Regards and vy 73 … de 14IR017 Regis

 

NB: I will now start designing the IR Island Festival QSL.Teams, your pictures are welcome.

2017 Island Festival : looking for IR-DX activators !

Dear IR-DX members,

The Island Festival  2017 will take place the first week-end of june (3-4 june 2017).

The registration is now OPEN http://islandfestival.net/?page_id=1470

As usual , IOTA, IOTA N/V and I.W.I are counters for the competition.

A searchable list of islands is available here : http://www.islands.uznam.net.pl/  but please not all islands aren’t listed.

We would be happy if some IR teams would be active this year, to promote the group and to keep the band alive.

Nearly everyone has some island nearby, at sea, in a lake or on a river, so don’t hesitate to take part to the event!  With a team or alone, a few hours, one day or 48h, by car, foot or boat, just do like you can and enjoy the event !!!

To save you time and money, the group offers to print an ISLAND FESTIVAL 2017 QSL, confirming all IR island festival activations.  One QSL, one manager (14IR017 Reg), one contribution.

All you have to do is to register the Island Festival, to inform 14IR017 Reg about your plans and to send your logs to the Island Festival + to 14IR017 when the event is over.

Chers membres IRDX,

L’Island Festival 2017 aura lieu les 3 et 4 juin prochains.

On peut dès à présent s’enregistrer sur le site pour y participer : http://islandfestival.net/?page_id=1470

Comme d’habitude, les IOTA, les IOTA N/V et les I.W.I  comptent dans cette compétition.

Une liste d’îles est disponible sur http://www.islands.uznam.net.pl/ , même si la liste n’est jamais complète et que de nouvelles îles peuvent y être ajoutées.

Nous serions heureux que, cette année encore, des membres IR participent au Festival, afin d’assurer la promotion du groupe et de maintenir un peu d’activité sur la bande.

Presque tout le monde a une île près de chez lui, qu’elle soit en mer, sur un lac ou sur une rivière, n’hésitez donc pas à vous lancer ! Seul ou en équipe, pour quelques heures, une journée ou 48h, à pieds, en voiture ou en bateau, faites comme vous voulez et amusez-vous !!!

Pour vous éviter tout tracas, le groupe propose de faire imprimer une QSL générale Island Festival 2017 qui confirmera toutes les îles actives en IR cette année pour le festival. Une QSL, un manager (14IR017 Reg) et une seule contribution.

Vous devez juste vous enregistrer pour l’édition 2017, informer 14IR017 Reg de vos projets et ne pas oublier d’envoyer vos logs à l’organisation de l’Island Festival ainsi qu’à 14IR017.

Active today : IWI by 14IR017 & 14IR206

In case this island can’t be active for whatever reason, we have an alternate target.

If propagation is good, we may do 2 islands the same day.
