 6 July 1996                      No 270                     BID: $425WW270C
                         ===========================
                         *** 4 2 5  D X  N E W S ***
                         ===========================
                         ** I.I.A.  - NOTES [1/3] **
                         ===========================

(1)   All Sicilian islands count  for IOTA one way  or another.  Apart
from the  ID9  (Eolie, EU-017),  IE9  (Ustica,  EU-051),  IF9  (Egadi,
EU-054), IG9 (Pelagie,  AF-019) e IH9  (Pantelleria, AF-018)  islands,
the "other"  islands may  be assimilable  to  Sicily (EU-025)  or,  if
qualifying, they  may  be included  in  the  "coastal  islands"  group
(EU-166). In this  latter case,  they must  meet Rule  1, directly  or
through the alternative paths of qualification, and Rule 2  (obviously
Sicily has to  be considered as  the "mainland" from  which an  island
must be at least 200 metres far).

(2)   The papers at  my current disposal do not  show the presence  of
any island or rock officially named  "Capobianco". However there is  a
Capo Bianco,  from which  the long  Trapanelli dike,  linking  Pedagna
Grande (BR-001) to the mainland, leads off. There is also an anonymous
islet located on the outer side of Pedagna Grande. Therefore we cannot
discard the hypothesis  that this islet  might have been  unofficially
named "Capobianco": if  that is the  case, it would  meet both Rule  1
(thanks to the  alternative paths of  qualification) and  Rule 2,  and
consequently it would count for EU-091 as well.

(3)   Though conforming to  Rule 1,  Sant'Andrea  Island in   Brindisi
province (not  to  be mistaken  for  the homonymous  island  in  Lecce
Province) does not count for  IOTA. In fact  the distance between  the
island and the mainland, to which Sant'Andrea is linked by a  causeway
and/or a bridge, seems to be less than 500 metres. That means that the
island does not  meet Rule  E.8.2 and  therefore it  cannot count  for
IOTA.

(4)   All Sardinian islands  count for  IOTA one way or another.  With
regard to the islands located in the IIA "Cagliari" group, they may be
assimilable to  Sardinia  (EU-024) or,  if  qualifying,  they  may  be
included in the "coastal islands" group (EU-165). In this latter case,
they must meet Rule 1,  directly or through  the alternative paths  of
qualification, and Rule 2 (obviously Sardinia has to be considered  as
the "mainland" from which an island must be at least 200 metres far).

(5)   The poor readibility  of   the only map at my disposal  prevents
me from calculating  the distance from  the coast.  It is  furthermore
possible that  the bay  delimited by  Capo Malfatano  (west) and  Capo
Spartivento (east), in which the island  lies, is a "largely  enclosed
bay" (i.e. with an opening that  is less than  5 kilometres wide,  see
IOTA Directory E.7.3). That, apart from any other consideration, would
make Tuaredda a non-counter for EU-165.

(6)   Formerly allocated to Le Castella, which  has been given the new
IIA Reference Number  KR-001 accordingly to  its passing into  Crotone
province, CS-004 has been declared "vacant"  and afterwards issued  to
Scogli Coreca.

(7)   From the papers  at  my  current  disposal  it appears  that the
so-called Isole dei  Ciclopi (Cyclopes  Islands), which  meet Rule  1,
include seven rocky formations.  These are in  their turn gathered  in
two groups,  whose IOTA  status depends  on  their distance  from  the
mainland: the first group counts for EU-166 and includes Lachea Island
(or  Isola  di  Aci),  Isola  dei  Ciclopi  (Cyclopes  Island,  or  Il
Faraglione) and two anonymous rocks located  between them; the  second
group includes  other three  rocks, which,  being much  closer to  the
mainland, count for EU-025.

(8)   Formerly allocated to Scoglio San Leonardo, which has been given
the new IIA Reference  Number VV-001 accordingly  to its passing  into
Vibo Valentia province, CZ-002 is currently vacant.

(9)   The IIA Reference Number GO-027 had been allocated to the island
of Bioni, which however it has been ascertained to be located in Udine
province (see UD-001). Consequently, GO-027 has been declared "vacant"
first, and then given to the island of Ara Storta (see UD-002).

                         ===========================

                         ** I.I.A.  - NOTES [2/3] **
                         ===========================

(10)  GO-028 is the new  IIA Reference Number that  has been given  to
the island of  Marina di Macia,  which it has  been ascertained to  be
located in Gorizia province. Consequently, UD-001, formerly  allocated
to this island, has been  declared "vacant" first,  and then given  to
the island of Bioni.

(11)  Isola Rossa is  situated in  front  of  Argentario, in  Grosseto
province, but  had been  given by  mistake  the IIA  Reference  Number
LI-021.  It has been  therefore necessary to  give a proper  Reference
Number to it  (GR-015).  Consequently,  LI-021 been declared  "vacant"
first, and then given to the Scoglietti di Capraia.

(12)  Unfortunately the  only  map  at  my  current  disposal  is  not
enlightening. However,  comparing  this  map  with  the  little  other
information I have  (according to it  the island is  placeable to  the
south of Isola della  Scogliera and opposite  Punta La Strega),  Isola
del Capezzone might meet both Rule 1 (through the alternative paths of
qualification) and Rule 2, thus qualifying for EU-091.

(13)  The ancient part  of  the  small town of  Gallipoli stands on an
island linked  to the  mainland by  a causeway  and/or a  bridge.  The
distance between the island and the coast is clearly below the minimum
required  in  such  cases  (see  IOTA  Directory,  E.8.2).   Therefore
Gallipoli, though likely to meet Rule 1, does not qualify for IOTA.

(14)  The two entries  - "Scoglio della  Meloria" (LI-004) and  "Torre
della  Meloria"  (LI-030)  -  clearly  refer  to  two  different   IIA
"entities" which are both situated in the area of the famous omonymous
shoals.  Torre  (Tower)  della  Meloria  (i.e.  the  old   lighthouse,
originally  built  in  the  XII  century  and  afterwards   repeatedly
destroyed and reconstructed) admittedly meets Rules 1 and 2, but since
it has been built on a reef,  it might fall within the cases  provided
for by paragraph E.8.3. The IOTA status of the so-called Scoglio della
Meloria is even more dobtful. The  Meloria Rock is  most likely to  be
identifiable with the stony platform on  which the new lighthouse  has
been built. However this islet, though  meeting Rules 1 and 2,   seems
to be an "artificial" island,  i.e. a non-counter  for IOTA (see  IOTA
Directory E.7.7).

(15)  The definition "Scogli di Vada"  can apply to a group of coastal
rocks, also known as "I Catini", which do not qualify for IOTA. It can
also apply to the possible rocks located within the omonymous  shoals,
expecially to the low rocky bank on which a lighthouse has been built.
In this latter case, the lighthouse meets Rules 1 and 2, but its  IOTA
status must be determined taking  into consideration paragraphs  E.7.7
and E.8.3.

(16)  The IIA Reference Number ME-028 had been allocated to an  "Isola
Galeotta" which apparently does  not exist in  the Eolie islands  (but
there is a  Galeotta in the  Egadi islands, which  has been  regularly
given the IIA Reference Number TP-005). It is therefore reasonable  to
suppose that  this  name refers  to  Scoglio Jalera,  a  satellite  of
Stromboli (not to be mistaken  for Scoglio Galera  ME-020, which is  a
satellite of Alicudi).

(17)  Though meeting  Rule  1  and  being   some  500 metres far  from
the mainland, the island of Nisida  does not qualify for IOTA  because
the long masonry bridge, which links Nisida to the coast, does not let
water "to flow at all times" (see IOTA Directory, E.8.2).

                         *** 4 2 5  D X  N E W S ***
                         ===========================
                         ** I.I.A.  - NOTES [3/3] **
                         ===========================

(18)  All  Sardinian  islands  count  for  IOTA  one  way or  another.
With regard to the islands located  in the IIA "Nuoro" and  "Oristano"
groups,  they  may  be  assimilable  to   Sardinia  (EU-024)  or,   if
qualifying, they  may  be included  in  the  "coastal  islands"  group
(EU-165). In this  latter case,  they must  meet Rule  1, directly  or
through the alternative paths of qualification, and Rule 2  (obviously
Sardinia has to be considered as  the "mainland" from which an  island
must be at least 200 metres far).

(19)  Though meeting  Rule  1  and  being   some  250 metres far  from
the coast, Isola di Capo Passero appears to be linked to the  mainland
by a sandbar,  which prevents the  island from  qualifying for  EU-166
(see IOTA Directory, E.6.7).

(20)  Pilots report that the island of Vendicari, though meeting  Rule
1 and being  some 300  metres far  from the  coast, is  linked to  the
mainland by a sandbar, which prevents  the island from qualifying  for
EU-166 (see IOTA Directory, E.6.7).

(21)  The IIA   "Maddalena"   group  includes  one   IOTA  "officially
recognised  island  group"  (see  IOTA  Directory,  E.5.1),  i.e.  the
Maddalena Archipelago (EU-041), plus a number of coastal islands. Some
of these latter are considerably far from the archipelago, but at  all
events they are subjected to the township of La Maddalena. With regard
to their IOTA status, Capo Ferro has been taken as the eastern  border
of the  area  covered by  EU-041:  consequently  the  islands  located
south-east of Capo Ferro - which,  for the sake of convenience,  could
be  defined  as  "Emerald  Coast  islands"  -  have  been  taken  into
consideration in order to  determine whether they  qualify or not  for
the "coastal islands" group (EU-165). Therefore the islands  belonging
to the  IIA "Maddalena"  group can  be included,  according to  single
cases, into EU-024, EU-041 or EU-165.

(22)  All  Sardinian  islands  count  for  IOTA  one  way or  another.
With regard to the islands  located in the  IIA "Sassari" group,  they
may be assimilable to Sardinia (EU-024) or, if qualifying, they may be
included in the "coastal islands" group (EU-165). In this latter case,
they must meet Rule 1,  directly or through  the alternative paths  of
qualification, and Rule 2 (obviously Sardinia has to be considered  as
the "mainland" from which an island must be at least 200 metres far).

(23)  Apart  from  any  possible   compliace to  Rules 1  and 2,  this
island is located  in a "largely  enclosed bay"  (see IOTA  Directory,
E.7.3) and therefore it cannot be taken into consideration in order to
determine whether it counts for EU-165.

(24)  Scoglio Tontonara, which had been given the IIA Reference Number
SV-004, was  been  deleted from  the  IIA island  list.  Consequently,
SV-004, which  had  been declared  "vacant",  has  been  allocated  to
Scoglio delle Donne.

(25)  The  IOTA status   of  Asinelli  Island has  been considered  in
order  to  determine  whether  Asinelli  qualifies  for  the  "coastal
islands" group (EU-166). In fact the  island is not part of the  Egadi
Archipelago, nor  it is  located in  an area  that can  be defined  as
"pertaining" to the archipelago (that is the case of Scogli  Porcelli,
TP-008).   Consequently,  Isola  Asinelli,  which  had  been  formerly
included in the  IIA "Egadi" group,  has now  been listed  in the  IIA
"Sicilia" group.

(26)  The IIA Reference Number  UD-001 had been formerly allocated  to
the island of Marina di Macia,  which however it has been  ascertained
to be located in Gorizia province  (see GO-028). Consequently,  UD-001
has been declared  "vacant" first,  and then  given to  the island  of
Bioni (see GO-027).

(27)  The IIA Reference Number  UD-002 had been formerly allocated  to
the island of Ara Storta, which however it has been ascertained to  be
located in  Gorizia province  (see GO-027).  Consequently, UD-002  has
been declared "vacant"  first, and  then given  to the  island of  San
Pietro.

Following many requests we have decided to start experimentally a new service
to  help  our  readers to find managers and/or addresses of DX stations.  The 
requests  should  be  sent  only  to  IK1GPG, who is responsibile for the QSL 
Managers/QSL Routes, via e-mail: 425dxqsl@pc.fr.flashnet.it
Answers will be published in the bulletin.
