[UK-CONTEST] RSGB IOTA Contest - Final Scores

[Clive Whelan]

Does anyone know why some QTHs display perfectly in google
earth and others not at all. For instance my previous city
QTH ( CF14 7AD) displayed perfectly ( no antennas these
days!), whereas my present QTH, CF5 6NE is just a big green
blur. Sure there are lots of trees and grass but.....

Don ..

Congratulations on a great presentation of the IOTA results.
I liked the
photo-feature too.  One question. Sorry for being a thicko
but how does one
access the google-tag feature please?

This is to announce that the IOTA contest results appearing
on the website
(see below for URL) are now Final. There have been very few
changes from the
provisional results, but there were a couple of logs which
were incorrectly
categorised.

Some interesting stats:

   - This year saw the highest number of submitted logs,
well over 1500
   in total, despite being at the bottom of the sunspot
cycle.
   - The contest database contains over 440,000 QSOs, of
which we were
   able to directly cross-check about 67%.
   - 203 pictures were submitted by entrants and 596
entrants used the
   Geotags facility to show their location on Google maps.
   - Once the provisional results were advised to entrants
there were
   12,000 page-views within two weeks, and 375 entrants took
time to check
   their adjudication reports (similar to CQWW UBNs).
   - The database will, in due course, be linked to the New
Generation
   IOTA Software (coming next year), to allow validated
contest QSOs to be
used
   as credit towards IOTA awards.
   - We received over 400 logs by the end of the contest
weekend.
   Software advances allow us to start adjudication as soon
as we start to
   receive logs, so the sooner everyone submits, the sooner
the results can
be
   available. Submit early! If you don't receive an
ackowledgement from the
   contest robot within two hours, try again (but check the
acknowledgement
   didn't end up in your Spam folder!).

(28/29th). The rules are not expected to change from 2006.
