-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> NEXT ISSUE OF IOTA NEWS <<<
There will be no issue of IOTA NEWS in February. The next one will appear in
mid-March. Interim information on the issue of IOTA reference numbers and
validation of operations is available on the IOTA Manager's website below
(under IOTA NEWS BULLETINS).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> ANNUAL UPDATE <<<
IOTA enthusiasts are reminded that the last date for mailing applications or
updates to checkpoints for inclusion in the 2002 Honour Roll and other
performance tables is 1 February. 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.
Existing members, who intend to claim credit for any of the 39 new references
marked with an asterisk in the list above and have not yet completed a
Conversion Sheet, must include one with their update, with Part 1 completed,
and enclose supporting QSLs. Checkpoints are under instructions not to
process cards from asterisked groups where a Conversion Sheet has not yet
been submitted. You can download the Conversion Sheet from the web-site
below, or obtain it from your checkpoint (enclose SASE please).
A final reminder, following publication of the 2002 tables, IOTA HQ will
delete from members' records on the IOTA database any of the credits subject
to review that have not been rechecked through a Conversion Sheet exercise.
So, if you have not yet converted your existing IOTA record on to the basis
of the new Directory listings, you have until 1 February 2002 to do so - it's
not a big job, it involves resubmitting a maximum 19 cards for Part 1, the
only section that needs to be completed by this date.
New applicants should base their application on the island listing in
Directory 2000, updated by the table above.
