NOTE: "Some operations, previously listed here, have been transferred to a
'Long Term Pending' category, having failed to provide validation material
within a reasonable period of time. If in doubt about an operation, check to
see whether it has appeared in the monthly list of validated operations since
the last time of listing in this section. If not, it is in the LTP category.
Checkpoints are not authorised to credit QSL cards for an operation where
validation is required". (Roger Balister, G3KMA, RSGB IOTA Manager).
