 Islands
on the Air program announces Icom sponsorship deal
The Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) has announced that Icom will
become the new corporate sponsor of its Islands on the Air (IOTA)
program, effective October 1.
"This three-year worldwide sponsorship deal is a major boost to
IOTA both in the UK and internationally," the RSGB said.
"Principally involving sponsorship from both Icom UK and Icom America,
this deal is set to build this already-popular program into 2009 and beyond."
The RSGB says the IOTA program has expanded significantly in recent years
and now boasts tens of thousands of participants.
New Web-based software has been launched to ease the filing and checking
of award applications.
Since IOTA's launch in 1964, both Yaesu and Kenwood have served as program
sponsors.
