RSGB ISLANDS ON THE AIR

• • Request to Those Posting IOTA Spots
  • We have had a request to ask those posting island spots valid for IOTA to add the programme group number in the comments column after the spot, particularly if others have not already done so. It is suggested that they take the form IOTA CC-nnn, e.g. EU-005 to help 'techie' tracking devices. It would clarify the posting if the island name can also be added from time to time, particularly for coastal islands, as this could be crucial in cases of doubt for scores in the IOTA Marathon.

• • 2012 Honour Roll and Annual Listings
  • The 2012 Honour Roll and Annual Listings have been uploaded to the IOTA Manager's website ( www.g3kma.dsl.pipex.com ) and will appear on the RSGB IOTA website shortly. As so often over the last 30 years and for the last time now, top position, at 1094 groups out of 1102 activated since 1945, goes to Jean-Pierre Guillou, F9RM, now sadly a Silent Key. The year has continued to see an increasing number of participants reaching the 750 Plaque and 1000 Trophy levels. This is entirely due to the efforts of the many DXpeditioners and resident islanders who continue to provide the island operations. To them goes a great vote of thanks.
