A seguir, algumas premiações expedidas por entidades no exterior.
IOTA
ISLANDS ON THE AIR |
RSGB
LIGA DE RADIOAMADORES INGLESA |
O programa IOTA foi criado por Geoff Watts, um importante radioescuta inglês, em meados de 1960. Quando ele foi absorvido pela RSGB (Liga de Radioamadores Inglesa) em 1985, tornou-se o diploma favorito de muitos radioamadores. Sua popularidade cresce a cada ano entre os radioamadores de todo o mundo.
O programa IOTA consiste em dezoito diplomas individuais licenciados, que cumprem as regras gerais, os quais devem produzir evidências de terem mantido comunicações bilaterais com um requerido número de estações radioamadorísticas localizadas em ilhas, que tanto podem ser oceânicas ou regionais. Muitas das ilhas são consideradas países para o DXCC, outras não.
O interessante do IOTA é que ele envolve ilhas que não são frequentemente visitadas pelo homem, obrigando-os a grandes sacrifícios para lá chegarem, tão somente com a finalidade de oferecer oportunidade de contato a um grande número de radioamadores espalhados por todo o mundo. |
