                        RSGB IOTA AWARDS PROGRAMME

The RSGB is very supportive of the Islands on the Air (IOTA) programme  and 
has been most impressed to observe its growth in recent years. The  Society 
wishes to give full recognition to IOTA and to establish, in due course,  a 
new IOTA Committee as a Full Committee of the Society. The recent growth of 
IOTA has  been very  significant and  is undoubtedly  placing  unreasonable 
demands on  those involved  in the  administration  of the  programme.  The 
Society will in future therefore handle all administration. This will  free 
up members  of the  new  IOTA Committee  to  concentrate on  strategic  and 
technical matters.

In order to facilitate this move  we have decided  to disband the  existing 
IOTA committee.  This  committee is  in  fact a  working  group  and  is  a 
sub-committee of  the  Society's HF  Committee.  An IOTA  Transition  Group 
(IOTATG) under the joint  chairmanship of Martin  Atherton, G3ZAY, and  the 
Society's General Manager, Peter Kirby, G0TWW, is to manage the transfer of 
the  IOTA   administration  to   the   Society's  Headquarters.   Mrs   Eva 
Telenius-Lowe has been appointed HQ IOTA Co-ordinator.

The Society is most grateful to all members of the IOTA Committee for their 
past support  and contribution,  especially  Roger Balister,  G3KMA,  whose 
unstinting hard  work  and  enthusiasm  over the  past  11  years  is  much 
responsible for the growth and popularity  of the programme worldwide.  The 
Society is delighted  that Roger  has accepted  the position  of RSGB  IOTA 
Manager, and will continue to  manage the programme  on a day-to-day  basis 
alongside the HQ IOTA Co-ordinator and the IOTA Committee.

As a result  of the action  of the  Society, the  future of  the RSGB  IOTA 
programme is now assured. The Society is confident that the programme  will 
continue to grow in  popularity and take  its place as  one of the  leading 
amateur radio awards in the world. All future correspondence and  enquiries 
regarding the IOTA programme should be directed to RSGB IOTA Programme.  PO 
Box 9, Potters Bar, Herts, EN6 3RH. England.

            >>>  RSGB PRESS BULLETIN  *  1 MARCH 1996 <<<

Further to the RSGB Press  Bulletin dated 28  February 1996 concerning  the 
RSGB Islands On The Air (IOTA)  Awards Programme, it  should be noted  that 
the new address for correspondence with the IOTA Programme is for enquiries 
and administration only. This address should  not be used for QSL  checking 
or IOTA  award applications:  all UK and overseas checkpoints  and overseas
Country Assistants (DK1RV,  EA5RC,  F6AJA,  I1JQJ,  SP6TPM,  UT8LL,  W4BAA)
remain in place as before.

It should also be  made clear that  there is no  intention to diminish  the 
international aspect of the IOTA Programme. The Society is grateful to  the 
many IOTA enthusiasts around the world who have contributed their time  and 
enthusiasm to the IOTA Awards Programme  in recent years and who have  made 
IOTA the international success which it has become.

International representation  on  the  IOTA  Committee  will  continue  and 
foreign language  versions  of  the IOTA  Directory  will  continue  to  be 
published and expanded in the future.
