Koncom mesiaca, 29.júla od 12.00UTC do 30.júla 12.00UTC sa koná IOTA Contest 2023. Súťažia IOTA stanice a všetky ostatné stanice sveta. RSGB už 4.marca 2022 oznámilo, že nebude akceptovať logy od staníc z Ruska a Bieloruska a taktiež spojenia so stanicami z týchto krajín nebudú bodovo hodnotené a nebudú počítané ako násobiče.

Contest bands
Contesting takes place on the 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m bands, with stations required to follow IARU recommendations for contest operation (no transmissions allowed in the segments 3500-3510, 3560 – 3600, 3650 – 3700, 14060 – 14125, and 14300 – 14350 kHz).
Exchange code
The exchange code varies by contest category. Stations outside the island give RS(T) + the serial number of the contact starting from 001, IOTA stations give RS(T) + the serial number of the contact starting from 001 + IOTA reference number. Non-contesting stations can be logged with the number 0.
IOTA Contest bodovanie
(a) Contacting island stations:
World stations: 5 points
Island stations with the same IOTA reference number: 5 points.
Other island stations: 15 points
(b) Contacting world stations:
World stations: 2 points
Island stations: 15 points
(c) Multiplier. The multiplier is the sum of different IOTA references achieved on each band on CW plus the sum of different IOTA references achieved on each band on SSB.
(d) The total score is the sum of points for QSO on all bands combined, multiplied by the sum of multipliers on all bands combined.
IOTA Contest denníky
(a) They will be submitted in the format Cabrillo cez https://www.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfenter.pl?Contest=IOTA%20Contest do 5 dní od skončenia IOTA Contest-u.
(b) If the robot finds errors in the format, it will reject the log and request a resubmission of the corrected log file.
(c) Second and subsequent log files submitted may be subject to analysis of all changes made.
(d) If you have problems preparing or uploading the Cabrillo log file, contact the contest referee and ask for assistance before the deadline for log submissions.
(e) Final results will be online and will include online logs for all participants.
Penalties will be imposed for errors as stated in RSGB Contesting Guidelines for HF EvaluationThis penalty will result in a loss of an additional 5 QSO points.
