<<< 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 Rk Call Score Rk Call Score Rk Call Score ___________________________________________________________________ 1 F9RM 1018 76 W4BAA 916 151 G0MYC 815 2 9A2AA 1011 77 F5XL 912 152 HB9BVV 814 2 I1ZL 1011 78 I1WFF 910 153 DL8DSL 813 4 I1SNW 1009 79 DK6NJ 908 154 UY5XE 812 5 EA4MY 1003 80 IK8PGC 903 155 GM0KCY 809 6 ON6HE 1002 81 G3VJP 902 155 I5ZJK 809 7 GM3ITN 1000 82 F6CKH 901 155 ON4ON 809 7 I2YDX 1000 82 SM6CVX 901 158 CT4NH 806 7 I8XTX 1000 84 9A2TW 900 158 N8JV 806 7 W9DC 1000 84 VE7YL 900 160 HB9BZA 805 11 VE6VK 999 84 W2FXA 900 161 DJ4XA 802 12 IK1JJB 998 87 4X4JU 899 161 G3ZBA 802 13 I8KNT 997 87 G4SOZ 899 163 S51RU 801 14 F2BS 995 87 IK1AIG 899 164 G0ANH 797 15 VE3XN 991 90 IK1ADH 898 164 I4GAS 797 16 K9PPY 989 91 I1HYW 897 166 I1TBE 796 17 ON7EM 988 92 DL8USA 896 167 W4ABW 795 18 I8ACB 987 93 G3TJW 895 168 PA3EXX 793 18 WD8MGQ 987 94 K8NA 894 168 RW4HW 793 20 IT9GAI 986 95 G4BWP 893 170 DK6IP 792 20 K8DYZ 986 95 I8YRK 893 170 UR5LCV 792 22 DL8NU 983 97 AA5AT 891 172 GI0TJJ 791 23 G3GIQ 982 97 F6CUK 891 172 I1CAW 791 24 F6AJA 981 97 G3OCA 891 172 SM5CZY 791 25 ON4AAC 980 97 SM5DJZ 891 175 VE3MDQ 789 26 OM3JW 978 101 F6DZU 890 176 F5NPS 788 27 N7TZ 975 102 K9AJ 888 177 I4UDV 787 28 CT1ZW 974 103 N6PYN 887 178 N6BOI 785 29 IK2MLY 973 104 W9HA 886 178 W9HAO 785 30 ON4XL 971 105 EA7DUD 882 180 JH2AYB 784 31 G3ZAY 970 106 CT1EEB 881 181 CT1EEN 783 31 W5BOS 970 107 GJ3LFJ 880 181 G3TOK 783 33 DK6NP 968 107 OK1JKM 880 183 SM7TE 782 33 I2MWZ 968 109 N6AWD 879 183 VE3JV 782 35 F6BFH 967 110 AA7AV 877 185 OZ1ACB 780 35 I4LCK 967 110 OZ5MJ 877 185 W1OX 780 37 G4WFZ 965 112 EA3KB 875 187 IK4WMA 779 37 OE3WWB 965 113 G0APV 870 187 VK3UY 779 39 F6ELE 962 114 IK1GPG 868 189 KH6WU 777 39 K7SO 962 115 KD1CT 866 190 DL5ME 775 41 F6DLM 961 116 I2YWR 864 190 G3OAG 775 41 K6DT 961 116 OE3SGA 864 192 DL1BDD 774 41 OH2QQ 961 118 HB9RG 863 192 G4LVQ 774 44 EA5AT 958 119 DK2PR 861 192 IK2WAL 774 45 DK1RV 957 119 ON4IZ 861 192 OH5PA 774 45 EA8AKN 957 121 G3XTT 860 196 DL6MST 771 45 F6AXP 957 121 ZL2VS 860 196 JR7TEQ 771 48 I0OLK 956 123 G3RUV 859 196 N7RO 771 49 I2FUG 955 124 AD5A 857 199 VE3PRU 770 49 IK8DDN 955 125 GM0AGN 855 200 HA1AG 769 51 W1NG 953 126 OH2BLD 854 201 W1CU 768 52 4Z4DX 952 127 DK2UA 852 202 K1OA 765 53 HB9AFI 951 128 EI7CC 850 202 WW1V 765 54 G3ALI 949 128 JE1DXC 850 204 F5PAC 764 55 ON5KL 947 130 F9GL 847 205 DL8MLD 763 56 I2VDX 943 131 N6VR 846 205 G8JM 763 57 ON4FU 942 132 W5KN 842 207 G3SJX 762 57 OZ4RT 942 133 K3FN 841 207 VE3LYC 762 57 WB9EEE 942 134 W6ED 839 209 DK8UH 761 60 VE7IG 939 135 GW3ARS 836 210 CT1UD 760 60 VE7IU 939 136 I4EAT 835 210 DL1BKK 760 62 N5JR 937 137 IK4CWP 834 210 G3PMR 760 62 VE3LDT 937 137 W3KH 834 210 JA1QXY 760 64 W4DKS 935 139 W2JZK 833 214 W0BBT 759 65 W1DIG 932 140 SM6CAS 832 215 N4QQ 758 66 DF2NS 931 141 DL2SCQ 829 215 UA9YE 758 67 DL6MI 929 141 ON4QP 829 217 PY5PS 756 68 ZL1ARY 927 143 G0LRJ 828 218 G3HSR 753 69 K8SIX 926 144 N5ET 827 218 IK4HLU 753 70 HA0DU 924 145 I8LEL 826 220 DL2NES 751 71 DL1SDN 923 146 K5MK 825 220 G3UAS 751 72 G3NUG 922 147 JF1SEK 822 220 WT2O 751 73 N5UR 921 148 S52KM 821 223 DL5MU 750 74 SM0AJU 920 149 WF1N 818 223 G3HTA 750 75 VK9NS 918 150 K1HTV 817 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. _____________________________________________________________________________ Mauro Pregliasco, I1JQJ RSGB IOTA Committee Member E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________ www.rsgbiota.org www.eo19.dial.pipex.com/index.shtml www.425dxn.org/iota ------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net -------------------------------------------------------
