June & July's in the log...

Hi all, another report of my recent activities on the air... :)
Apart the previous June posts on 50MHz contacts, I could log ES0UG/8 from IOTA EU-178 on 20M CW : I already worked this IOTA in 2012 but never received any confirmation since the time. 
Thanks to Uwe, it was quickly confirmed (in the month) with a Clublog Matching !
I also could work again Craig VK5CE/6 this time from IOTA OC-170 but it was the last time I could hear him, no more island from his VK IOTA Tour...


 In the beginning of July, it was time for me to add an ATNO thanks to KH1/KH7Z Baker & Howland Islands IOTA OC-089, worked on 20M CW : it is my 323rd worked DXCC ! It was confirmed on LotW one month later : it is my 323rd confirmed DXCC too...



Later, 7V9A IOTA AF-094 was worked on 20M SSB, V6J Federal States of Micronesia IOTA OC-254 logged on 20M CW & 9K2NO was worked on 6M CW (new slot).

Then it was already the IOTA CONTEST 2018 !
I looked for new/not yet confirmed references only, and logged 10 islands thanks to :
- EA5EL/P IOTA EU-093
- PX8Z IOTA SA-060
- K1IMI IOTA NA-137
- PW7I IOTA SA-046
- II3Y IOTA EU-130
- BY4JN IOTA AS-150
- SF2X/P IOTA EU-135
- BW9W IOTA AS-155
- ZV5O IOTA SA-047
- PS1S IOTA SA-077
This bringed my IOTA score to 588 worked islands !
