SB DX@WW $425WW252A 425 DX News #252 [1/4] 2 March 1996 No 252 BID: $425WW252A =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** =========================== edited by I1JQJ >>> RSGB PRESS BULLETIN * 28 FEBRUARY 1996 <<< 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.
