Start here: Islands on the Air is an RSGB award program built around contacts with qualifying island groups identified by IOTA references.
Why it matters
Qualifying geography, operation validation, confirmations, and credit rules belong to the current IOTA program—not every landmass visible on a map.
A practical example
Check the reference and activation status, copy the station carefully, and follow current confirmation and application procedures.
Use it well
Assuming an operator on any island automatically counts for a new IOTA reference.
Operating boundary
Keep the measurement reference plane, current program rules, land access, spectrum authorization, and exact packed configuration with the decision. A connector, meter reading, or program name alone does not establish readiness.
