IOTA 2003 Contest

My fourth IOTA contest in a row. Finished in the best position I have ever reached up to now (19th place) but with only 47 contestants so I can't say that this was one of my best IOTA contests. On top of that the contest committee deducted three of my QSOs (one of them being a multiplier) costing me just over 3000 points. Hopefully next year I will have a better setup for a better result.
