ANNUAL UPDATE DEADLINE
The deadline for the 2012 Honour Roll and Annual Listing approaches.
Applications and updates submitted online on or before 31 January will
count for the 2012 tables so long as the supporting cards sent to
checkpoints are postmarked no later than that date. Updates postmarked
after 31 January will be processed in the normal way but scores will
be held over to 2013. Listing in the tables is restricted to those
participants who have updated their scores at least once in the previous
five years. In the case of the 2012 tables this means since the 2007
annual listings. If you wish to remain listed, check to see that you
qualify and, if not, make a submission on or before 31 January 2012.
Please submit online and not on paper - card volumes are now such that
paper applications place an unacceptable burden on checkpoints. The
2012 tables will appear on this website in the Spring.

IOTA EU-155: The retention of EU-155 in IOTA list is in doubt. "The IOTA
Manager was informed at Ham Radio 2011 Friedrichshafen that the two barrier
islands listed as qualifying for EU-155, Baron and Scanno di Piallazza, no
longer exist. Authoritative information has now been provided by a local
operator to show this probably to be the case. It is worth noting that the
Po Delta is a remarkably fragile natural environment with barrier reefs,
as and when they occur, subject to change by tide and storm. IOTA rules
require that, in the absence of qualifying islands, the group concerned
should be suppressed. One final check will be made on the latest satellite
pictures expected shortly following which a decision will be taken and a
notice issued. In the meantime, no new operations claiming to take place
from EU-155 will be regarded as qualifying for credit".
