What is WWBOTA?
WWBOTA is Worldwide Bunkers on The Air. It is a new amateur radio awards scheme open to radio amateurs and shortwave listeners worldwide. The aim of the scheme is to assist with the coordination of national Bunkers on The Air schemes, maintain the WWBOTA ‘master’ list and to manage WWBOTA awards (see the link in the top menu). Additionally, WWBOTA may be able to offer advice to national representatives wishing to start their own national schemes (see the New Countries menu item above).
What's new in WWBOTA?
