The United States Islands Awards Program, USi, covers saltwater and inland fresh water river or lake islands of the fifty (50) states of the United States and U.S Territories or Protectorates. USi was formed to further enhance "island chasing" that has become so popular on the amateur radio bands. The USi goal is to promote a simple but effective system of island collecting in a professional radio-manner and to operate totally on the "honor system". USi warmly welcomes all ham radio operators and island enthusiasts to yet another facet of island collecting. USi is open to anyone (Ham or SWL) interested in working toward the many and varied US Island Awards by collecting and activating US islands. (from the website)
