The DIB is a Brazil Island Diplom, organisated by the Brazil Amateur Radio Organisation. Today there are 68 islands named and were activated in the past. Unfortunately the original list shows nor description and nor position of the listed islands.
All islands are steep sided, but well covered with vegetation.
The archipelago is inhabited permanently by about 1500 people. A wide airfild is situated on a rocky plateau 40 m above the sea. O'Pico is a curiosou vertical Lava formation, rising direct from the plateau up to 322 m high. The island group was discovered in 1501 by the both Portugese Ferdinando de Noronha and Juan de la Cosa and originaly named as Ilhas do Sao Joao do Planisfero. In 1504 the island group was given to Ferdinando de Noronha by the King as a captain's Hereditas, a special way of lehel.
