IOTA DXPEDITION FUND ---> IOTA Ltd has from 1 September 2023 established a
DXpedition Fund to help reduce the costs of expeditions to the rarer and
less accessible IOTA groups. Administered by the IOTA Board it will consider
making grants to operations from IOTA references confirmed by less than 25%
of IOTA members based on the last 10-year listing in IOTA's Most Wanted
List. The grant request should be submitted more than 30 days prior to the
operation's start. The evaluation and grant process is based on various
criteria, including the rarity of the IOTA reference, planned number of
stations on the air, of days operating, of contacts made, of bands and modes
used, QSL and QSO matching practice and estimated cost of the expedition
project. The Grant Application Form can be found here:
https://www.iota-world.org/dxpedition-fund-menu/grant-application.html
