ANNUAL UPDATE
This is the time of year when the deadline for the 2009 Honour Roll and
Annual Listing looms large. Applications and updates submitted on-line on or
before 1 February will count for the 2009 tables so long as the supporting
cards sent to checkpoints are postmarked no later than that date. Updates
postmarked after 1 February will be processed in the normal way but scores
will be held over to the following appearance. Listing in the tables is
restricted to those participants who have updated their scores at least once
in the previous five years. In the case of the 2009 tables this means since
the 2004 annual listings. If you wish to remain listed, check to see that
you qualify and, if not, make a submission on or before 1 February 2009. The
tables will appear on the RSGB IOTA website in the Spring.

IOTA AND ANTARCTIC BASES
The Mediterraneo DX Club's Antarctica Award Directory is the official
source of information for the IOTA Programme on Antarctic Base stations.
It acts as an extension of the IOTA Directory, providing the IOTA
reference number as well as a wealth of detailed historical information
on each base. The Directory is downloadable from the MDXC website at -
http://www.mdxc.org/antarctica/ . Answers to questions about the Antarctic
Award Programme can be found on the FAQ page on their website.

*** NEW CHECKPOINTS ***
September 15, 2008 -
The following checkpoint change applies with immediate effect:
For applicants in the West Pacific area (Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand,
the Philippines and Pacific islands [excluding French and US territories]):
VK2RO, Roger Conway, 156 Racecourse Road, Tocumwal, NSW 2714, Australia.
----------------------------------------
The sad passing of Ray Small, G3ALI, one of our two UK based checkpoints,
in late October came as a great shock to us all. He had been a checkpoint
since early 1992 and carried out the duties involved meticulously. We know
that his many friends, both inside and outside the IOTA Programme, will
share our sorrow at the loss of someone who gave so much in friendship
and service.
We are happy to be able to announce that Ray's son, Robert, BRS-8841, has
agreed to take over his Dad's checkpoint with immediate effect. He has a
very high score (approaching 1000) in the SWL listings, so has a mass of
IOTA experience. Robert is also moving into Ray's house in mid-January
with his family. So, those of you who are his customers should send your
updates to Robert at the same address as before. The only change is that
we have split off Ray's Portuguese and BeNeLux customers by appointing
new checkpoints in Portugal and Belgium.
The following checkpoint changes apply with immediate effect:
For applicants in England (all G & M call-numbers except Ø), Gibraltar,
Ireland, Malta, and all Africa and Asia except Japan & the CIS countries:
BRS-8841, Robert S Small, 13 Rydal Close, Stowmarket, Suffolk IP14 1QX,
ENGLAND

For applicants in Hungary, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
