Hi Ed-
I found your post about DU IOTA needs on here the Yaesu reflector!  I =
don't subscribe, so don't know if this message will get posted.  I will =
try your email address also.  Hope you get it one way or another.

The answer to your question can be gotten indirectly from the IOTA needs =
list of USA/VE island hunters  (see =
http://www.cm.quik.com/wd8mgq/iota/iotaneed.txt )  I will assume that =
needs are similiar for EU hams.  If you total up the needs of the 22 =
people listed (and ignore DU8 and DU9 land), only two groups stand out:  =
OC92 Babuyan & OC125 Semirara.  Both groups are about equal in rarity.  =
All others are vastly below.  Of the two, I only need OC92 so will throw =
my vote to that one!!  Interestingly, I was thrilled to work DU2/DU8ARK =
on 40M CW last month.  Unfortunately it turned out to be a pirate!  Why =
anyone would pirate an IOTA is beyond me.  Anyway, my hopes for a new =
one were dashed.  Perhaps you can help me resurrect those hopes!
I reposted your request on the IOTA General Discussion forum  =
(http://www.islandchaser.com/iotw/forums/index.html)  Watch for answers =
there.

Please confirm that you received this email and how you want to receive =
info.  Is the forum ok?

thanks and GL on the next operation, Doc  K7SO
