DIA : Danish Island Award
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The award:
The award is sponsored by OZ3FYN, which is the local branch in Odense
of Experimenterende Danske Radioamatörer.
The purpose with this award is to intensify the activity
from the danish islands.
The award is available to all licensed radio amateurs and short
wave listeners that make proof to have contacted or heard QSO
with danish islands after the rules.
The islands:
In Denmark we have a lot of islands.
They can be divided in 5 groups, of which some have status as
IOTA-islands. The 5 goups are:
EU-029 Islands in the southern part of Kattegat
EU-030 Islands in the Baltic Sea
EU-088 Islands in the northern part of Kattegat
EU-125 Islands in the Nort Sea
EU-no Nordjylland and the islands in Limfjorden
The intention with this list is to register all danish islands
of a certain size after a fixed pattern.
Two letters have been chosen, indicating what part of the country,
the island belongs to.
Three digits gives the island a number inside the part of the country.
The two letters are used in this way:
SJ The islands around Sj‘lland
FY The islands around Fyn
JY The islands along the east coast of Jylland
BO The islands around Bornholm
NK The islands in the northern part of Kattegat
NS The islands in the Northsea
NJ Nordjylland and the islands in Limfjorden
The list ist not complete.
An example is Ertholmene EU-030.
This island group consist of at least four small islands:
Christians›, Frederiks›, Gr‘sholm and Tat.
But in the way the list is made, new islands can easily be added.
References: TIMES Atlas of the World 1994 page 53.
Latitude and longitude is around the center of the islands.
