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 ---

approved as of this date (that means that YA/ON6TT/M is not valid
for DXCC purposes). QSL YA5T via KU9C. The Northern California DX

DUCIE ISLAND 2001
Ducie Island (24.40.00S - 124.47.00W, OC-182, WAZ 32, ITU 63) should be the
next new Entity to be added to the DXCC List [425DXN 545]. The main part of
the team (JA1BK, JF1IST, JA1SLS, K9AJ, K5VT and FO3BM) expects to leave
Mangareva (Gambier Islands, French Polynesia) on 13 November in the local
evening, to stop at Pitcairn and pick up other two operators (team leader
Tom, VP6TC, and Dave, VP6DB) and then to sail immediately for Ducie. They
will be active with four stations and a VP6 callsign to be announced when the
operation starts, i.e. at 00.00 UTC on 16 November. The team must be back on
Mangareva on 28 November.
The two main frequencies - 21020 kHz (CW) and 21295 kHz (SSB) - will be used
24 hours a day. Other prime frequencies include 28495 kHz and 14195 kHz for
SSB and 14020 kHz for CW, but some activity is planned to take place on the
other bands (160-6 metres) and on RTTY as well. It is expected that low band
and WARC operations are more likely to take place in the last days of the
operation, as the initial emphasis will be to allow as many operators as
possible to work this rare IOTA and probable new DXCC Entity.
The team will have 2-element beams for 10 and 15 metres, a 4 Square for 20
metres and wire and vertical antennas for the other bands. There will be a 6
meter beacon on 50.110 Mhz. 160 metres are not a priority. Nevertheless, the
team is taking an inverted L 160 antenna and if the weather and other factors
cooperate there may be 160m operation nearer the end.
The pilot station is Bill Avery, K6GNX. QSL via VE3HO (HF QSOs: Garth
Hamilton, P.O. Box 1156, Fonthill, Ontario L0S 1E0, Canada) and JA1BK (6m

DUCIE ISLAND 2001
Ducie Island (OC-182) should be the next new Entity to be added to the DXCC
List. The Pitcairn Island Amateur Radio Association (PIARA) has applied to
the IARU for membership and the closing date for voting is 15 November. If
PIARA becomes a member society of the IARU, Pitcairn will become a DXCC
Political Entity and consequently Ducie Island, which is separated from its
Parent (Pitcairn itself) by 350+ kilometres, will became a DXCC Geographic
Separation Entity.
PIARA has now announced that plans are complete for their expedition to Ducie
Island [425DXN 529]. VP6TC, VP6DB, VP6BK/JA1BK, JF1IST, JA1SLS, K9AJ, K5VT
