Welcome – 2021 ~ our 27th year
Announcements: Terry, W4YVB is the USI’s new Special Event Manager. Upcoming USI Expeditions Nothing from Mar 3, 2021 to Apr 2, 2021. Welcome to the U.S. Islands Awards Program (USI) web site. USI is an amateur radio award program centered around chasing and activating river, lake and ocean shore islands within the 50 United States and its Territories and Protectorates. Numerous achievement awards are available for both island activators and island chasers. U.S. Islands is a great way to go on a mini-DXpedition without spending a lot of money. Discovering islands in your own back yard and setting up a station outdoors is always a good time. If hams have only operated outdoors during Field Day, we offer another route to get outside and enjoy portable ham radio in a different way. USI has two operating activities each year: Any way you like it, portable, walk on, paddle to, motor to, mobile, drive on, USI is year around ham radio fun. Please consider joining the USI Facebook group. N6UTC Endaf Buckley activated Naples Island, CA060S via AO-92 on Saturday 25 July, 2020 with at least one USI to SOTA contact.
Thank you.
Today is: 3rd March 2021
