As some of you have spotted, the IOTA Contest Results are now on the
RSGB HFCC Web pages (www.rsgbhfcc.org), along with Soapbox and photos.
The list of trophy winners will be posted soon. If you spot any errors,
please let me know a.s.a.p. (end-November, latest) so that I can correct
them in the version which will be published in February RadCom (RSGB
magazine).
The results are, as last year, collated by Multi- and Single-op and by
Island and non-Island. If you want to list specific categories (e.g.
12-hour QRP) the easiest thing to do is copy the relevant table into a
spreadsheet and sort accordingly. However, for convenience, the leading
station in each sub-category has been highlighted in bold text.
Our variant on UBN reports is available on request (send me an e-mail).
The checking has been more comprehensive than ever this year, thanks
particularly to some new software developed by Marios 5B4WN/G0WWW, to
whom I am extremely grateful. Thank you for your patience in dealing
with our new two-stage submission process, where we had a few teething
problems. This process is necessary because many otherwise perfectly
acceptable Cabrillo logs don't actually carry the correct header
information (IOTA contest categories differ from those in many other
contests). The good news is that, as a result of the two-stage process,
we have had to engage in far less correspondence with entrants than in
previous years.
My thanks to all who have helped with the adjudication and other aspects
of the contest management, to the log program authors who have worked to
ensure that logs are compliant, to various others who have played a part
behind the scenes, and to all who entered - over 1200 logs again,
despite the atrocious band conditions over the contest weekend.
Finally, my apologies for not posting Claimed (pre-checked) scores on
the Web site in early October as originally envisaged. This was because
our priority was to get Final scores ready in time for the RSGB HF
Convention in late October - a testing challenge!
