[Dx-qsl] EU-066 Island ?

Sat May 29 03:23:05 EDT 2010

Per IOTA rules:
C.4.2 QSL cards submitted must have printed on them both
the call-sign and the name of the island from which the
operation took place. The latter must be an island
mentioned as qualifying for that IOTA group in the island
listings available in the latest IOTA Directory or on either
of the two official web-sites. The IOTA group name and
IOTA reference number are not acceptable alternatives
although it is desirable that they also appear on the card,
nor are geographic co-ordinates, a grid locator square or
a lighthouse or castle name. The name of the island
should not have been handwritten, nor should it have
been added in a way that makes ambiguous the location
of the station at the time of contact.
