<<< 2003 IOTA HONOUR ROLL >>>
                 by Roger Balister, G3KMA,  RSGB IOTA Manager

The Honour  Roll  lists  the  callsigns of  stations  with  a  checked  score
equalling or exceeding 50% of the total of numbered islands/groups, excluding
those with provisional numbers, at the time of preparation. The listing below
includes  participants who  have at least  750 confirmed groups  (that is the
threshold for the Plaque of Excellence).

The full Honour Roll listing (including rankings from 225 to 512) as well  as
the 2003 Annual Listing (callsigns of stations with a checked score of 100 or
more islands/groups but less than the qualifying threshold for entry into the
Honour Roll), the 2003 SWL Listing (list of SWLs with a checked score of  100
or more islands/groups) and the 2003 Club Station Listing (callsigns of  club
or  multi-operator  stations  with  a  checked score of  100 or more islands/
groups) can be found at http://www.eo19.dial.pipex.com/index.shtml and on the
official IOTA web site at http://www.rsgbiota.org

Listing in the 2003 tables was  restricted to those  members who had  updated
their scores since February 1998. This implemented the new rule in the latest
IOTA Directory that  limits inclusion in  the listings to  those members  who
update their scores at least once every five years. This change did not  have
a major effect on the Honour Roll where almost all members had updated in the
last five years,  but it led  to some  reduction in  the size  of the  Annual
Listing.

"Lapsed" members should  note that their  records on the  IOTA database  have
been amended to reflect changes in Directory 2000 arising from the  splitting
of a  number of  island groups.  This reminder  applies additionally  to  any
member who had  not converted his/her  record to the  revised island  listing
during the  last two  years. The  maximum 19  credits concerned  were  either
confirmed or repositioned where HQ knew  the correct group or, failing  that,
were deleted. Checkpoints should  be able to  provide information on  revised
scores to enable replacement card action to be taken.

All members  should be  reminded that  the final  decision on  acceptance  of
credits is made at  IOTA HQ and  that this can  mean downward adjustments  to
scores  at  any  time  to  reflect  corrections  of  one  sort  or   another.
Data-cleansing work is  on-going and covers  every member's complete  record,
not just the latest credits added. Although efforts are made to alert members
to score changes, this cannot be  guaranteed to happen in each case.  Members
who are intent on monitoring their record closely should check their credited
score in the  performance tables when  published or, alternatively,  directly
with their checkpoints AFTER their data has been recorded at HQ.

Remember, the line of communication is via your checkpoint, so PLEASE do  not
route queries direct to IOTA HQ  or the IOTA Manager.  Always check first  to
see if the answer is in IOTA Directory 2000 or IOTA Directory - 11th Edition.

ANNUAL UPDATE DEADLINE
IOTA enthusiasts are reminded that the last date for mailing applications  or
updates to  checkpoints for  inclusion  in the  2004  Honour Roll  and  other
performance tables is 1 February  2004. If postmarked  after that date,  they
will be processed in the normal way but the  scores will be held over to  the
following year's listing. It is important  that members who have not  updated
since the  1999 annual  listings and  wish to  remain  listed should  make  a
submission on or before 1 February 2004.
