Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Islands On The Air programme, special event callsign VI60IOTA will be in use across Australia during 2024: "whenever VI60IOTA is heard on the air", the organizers say, "it will be from one of the VK IOTA entities", including the main islands of Australia (OC-001) and Tasmania (OC-007). Andrey, VK5MAV is using the callsign during part of his current VK5MAV/4 activity from Magnetic Island (OC-171) and team VK5FIL will also operate VI60IOTA during part of their 14-21 April expedition to Flinders Island (OC-261). QSOs will be made available for Club Log and LoTW Matching on the IOTA website; traditional QSLs via M0OXO's OQRS. Updates and information about the certificates that will be available for working VI60IOTA will be posted to https://www.qrz.com/db/VI60IOTA.
