The Islands On The Air (IOTA) program, managed by the RSGB, challenges amateur radio operators to contact and confirm QSOs with stations located on islands worldwide. This section provides essential resources for both island chasers and activators. Find official program rules, the latest IOTA Directory updates, and news from the IOTA Manager, G3KMA. Access detailed information on specific IOTA groups, including Japanese, European, and US Islands, along with specialized lists for bearing and distance calculations from your QTH. Whether you're planning a DXpedition or hunting new island entities, these resources support your IOTA endeavors.
Explore a variety of tools and information, including the IOTA mapping project for visual tracking, real-time DXCluster IOTA spots for active operations, and extensive DXpedition reports from groups like W4USI Island Hoppers and Russian Robinson Club. Access support from organizations like the IREF Island Radio Foundation, dedicated to assisting IOTA expeditions. Resources also include award application details, checkpoint information from W9DC, and prefix lists from QRZ.com to aid in identifying IOTA entities.
