The last date for sending score updates to checkpoints, both online or by QSL cards, for inclusion in the
2021 Honour Roll and Annual Listings is 31 January 2021. If cards are 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. The current
disruption to postal services as a result of coronavirus suggests that, where cards are to be sent, they should be sent in good time to enable credit to be given. Participants who have not updated since the 2016 annual listings and wish to remain listed should make a submission before 31 January 2021. Furthermore, those who have not logged into their record for more than two years, will need to revalidate their registration through info[@]iota-world.org. Do not leave it to the last moment as you may run out of time. [[TNX G3KMA]

The 2021 Honour Roll and Annual Listings have been posted here on the IOTA website https://www.iota-world.org/islands-on-the-air/performance-listings.html

Despite the damage done by the Covid-19 virus to DXpeditioning in the past year, IOTA has still managed to record increased participation in the latest performance tables. The two main listings with a total 1667 entries show an increase of 19 over the same listings in 2020. Some 258 record-holders now have scores of 1000 or more IOTA groups, an increase of 2% on last year, and 590, unchanged, have scores of at least 750 groups, the number required for the IOTA Plaque of Excellence. Scores at the top continue to close with 66 record-holders breaking through the 1100 mark and 19 of them within 10 of the top score. Congratulations to leader 9A2AA on 1132 groups out of a possible 1136 that have seen activity, to I2YDX and I1JQJ who follow close behind and indeed to all who have joined the IOTA family or updated in the last year. Following a brief break Checkpoints have started processing applications again.
