>>> IOTA
DIRECTORY 2000 - NEW GROUPS <<<
58 New Groups have been added to the Directory
(see IOTA Press Release 2).
Credits will be given for contacts only after a new reference
number has been
issued. New Groups with resident
amateurs will have a number issued
immediately. Groups without resident amateurs will have a number
issued when
a valid operation has taken place after Start Date,
19 June 2000. Once a
number has been given and confirmed, consideration will be given
to allowing
credit for operations that took place prior to Start Date but
information and
some documentation may be required
by the Committee. The primary
responsibility for providing this is the
DXpeditioner's. Acceptance of a
prior operation from a rare group will not be automatic.
CONVERSION OF EXISTING RECORDS
New applicants may make their first submission at
any time on the basis of
the data in Directory 2000. Existing IOTA members with
a score credited at
IOTA HQ are asked to delay applying for credit for the New Groups
until they
can submit a completed Conversion Sheet. Copies of this will be
available in
early July on the RSGB IOTA Web-site (for
downloading) or from IOTA HQ.
Checkpoints have been instructed not to process cards without
this.
>>> IOTA DIRECTORY 2000 - DELETED ISLANDS <<<
Some previously activated islands have been
deleted from the Directory
listings for failure to comply with the IOTA qualification
criteria. Credit
will continue to be allowed on the following time restricted
basis. If there
is an active resident amateur, the island will cease to count
from 1 February
2005, but new and old contacts will continue to count until then.
If there is
no active resident amateur, existing contacts will
count until 1 February
2005 but no new operations can be accepted after 1 February 2001.
Credits for
all contacts will be deleted after preparation of the 2005 Honour
Roll and Annual Listings.
