the single diference that a "P" is added on the reference. Eg. The DIP Ref'
for Insua Island is MI-001,for the Portuguese Islands Plaque will be MI-001P
After the mentioned date, new islands can be added to the program if a new
reference is requested to the Plaque manager.
Note that a new Island must qualify under the Portuguese Islands Plaque rules

of the confirmed Islands, this list must show the Date, Hour, Freq., Mode,
Call, Island Ref' and Island name. The list must be certified by an Amateur
