Islands On The Air Programme The IOTA Programme was created by Geoff Watts, a leading British shortwave listener, in the mid-1960s. When it was taken over by the RSGB in 1985 it had already become, for some a favourite award. Its popularity grows each year and it is highly regarded among amateurs world-wide.
The IOTA Programme consists of 18 separate awards. They may be claimed by any licensed radio amateur eligible under the General Rules, who can produce evidence of having made two-way communication, since 15 November 1945, with the required number of amateur radio stations located on the islands both world-wide and regional. Many of the islands are DXCC countries in their own right; others are not, but by meeting particular eligibility criteria also count for credit. Part of the fun of IOTA is that it is an evolving programme with new islands being activated for the first time (from amongst the 1170 listed groups).
