I disagree Gordon.

   1. I think the figures tend to suggests that year-on-year more
      stations are entering IOTA.
   2. The majority of entrants (IOTA & non-IOTA) seem to be within
      Europe; I feel competitive with a 100w to multiband vertical.
   3. There is no 160m in the IOTA contest.

Surely it is far from being a contest for the 'elite', rather a good 
opportunity for little pistols to put in competitive scores with so many
EU multipliers available?

I find in IOTA there is enough activity to keep me occupied for the full 
24 hours - unlike BERU, for example, which has it's own special 
attraction for masochists!
