- IOTA 50th Anniversary Marathon - Bulletin #3
- A reminder, the 50th Anniversary Marathon starts in two weeks time. DXpeditions are already gearing up to mark the launch of the event. As participants will need the island name, not just the IOTA reference number, for the island station worked, those who post spots on the clusters are encouraged to include the island name in their postings where there is more than one IOTA group possibility. Full details of the Marathon are available on this website.

- Annual Update
- 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.
