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!
