The year 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of the IOTA
Programme. As a build-up to the celebrations on this occasion, an
exciting activity period has been announced in which all licensed
amateurs world-wide are invited to participate.
For a two-year period
during 2012 and 2013 IOTA chasers are encouraged to contact as many
different IOTA groups as possible and IOTA activators to play their
part by operating from as many groups as possible, with special
emphasis on the less-frequently activated ones. The points system
adopted rewards 'Activators' with higher scores for activating the
rarer IOTA groups. Certificates and awards will be available to both
'Chasers' and 'Activators' to reflect attainment of graduated bands of
performance together with attractive prizes for top scorers.
The Marathon starts on 1 January 2012.
The full rules have been uploaded to G3KMA's website at
