The U.S. Islands Awards Program 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.
U.S. Islands is a great way to go on a mini-DXpedition without spending a lot of money. Discovering islands in your own backyard and setting up a station outdoors is always a good time. Every year USI conducts two operating activities; their One-Day-Getaway(1DG) and their W/VE Island QSO Party.
NFARL Continues the Picnic Tradition
As a club, NFARL participates in both of these events (we’ve got a connection via Terry Joiner, W4YBV...). The USI One-Day-Getaway event falls on the second weekend in May, and NFARL holds a picnic at the West Bank Park, Lake Lanier, GA, in conjunction so we can participate.
Plan to join us! May 10, 2025 at shelter #SL08203, WEST BANK PARK, Lake Sydney Lanier, Cumming, GA. We’ll arrive before 8AM (for setup) and leave at the end of the day.
