[UK-CONTEST] IOTA 2006 RESULTS (provisional)

[Jim Martin]

Well done to the adjudication team. To process the record 1524 logs in 40 
days is a formidable achievement.
Congratulations to the UK/EI guys who came top of the heap in all sections. 
Having experienced the conditions that weekend I appreciate the work, skill 
and effort required to be up there at the top.  Certainly something for the 
rest of us to work towards!
Like Dave I received a screed of emails for the logs I typed up.  Those who 
submit logs on paper certainly seem disadvantaged.  Having checked a few of 
my paper log entries the worst so far is the loss of 35% of the claimed 
score!  It was hard typing the logs into SDI only typing what was in the log 
and not automatically giving credit for the missing IOTA Ref which SDI so 
excellently provides.  Our UBN at MM0Q showed a loss of 6%, 30 Qs/5 mults, 
mostly silly callsign errors and obvious serial number errors. Need to check 
the log more thoroughly next time.
Current thoughts for next year swing wildly between the Isle of Wight/Summer 
Isles and SO2R/multi-op. Less than ten months to go so need to start 
planning NOW!

Jim,  MM0BQI
