[TNX K5GS] CLUB LOG'S MOST WANTED LIST ---> The latest Most Wanted List, generated on 31 October, is available at https://secure.clublog.org/mostwanted.php. The information is derived from QSOs uploaded to Club Log (currently 386 million log entries available for analysis) and, to improve quality, only QSOs that have QSLs confirmed are considered to be worked. IOTA NEWS ---> Record-holders who have made IOTA contacts in an IOTA contest after 2003, can claim credit for them without submitting QSLs, provided that the contact details match, either by manually entering the QSO information on the input form or by uploading a Cabrillo format log. The 2016 IOTA Contest data has now been uploaded to the IOTA database and is available for QSO matching. "Some users have experienced issues with their contest QSOs being rejected", PA3EXX reported on 2 November. "This has been fixed now and users are invited to upload their logs one more time". Please note that "logs of 12 operations out of 718 which participated have been excluded from being uploaded as the IOTA Validation Team (VT) is awaiting documentation", G3KMA said on 30 October. "It should be noted that if an operation is asked by VT (not the same as the RSGB Contest Committee) for validation and this is not sent in good time, QSO matching will not be allowed and a warning that the operation will not be accepted for IOTA will be posted on the database for applicants to note. In certain circumstances this could affect contest results". QSL GALLERY ---> The large collection of QSL cards on Les Nouvelles DX's web site has been updated. Fifteen different galleries include 14,238 cards for the ten Most Wanted DXCC Entities (2004-15), the 62 deleted DXCC Entities, obsolete prefixes, stations from Maghreb from 1945 to 1962, Allied Forces stations in Germany (1945-70), special stations commemorating ITU and IARU, Antarctic bases and TAAF (Terres Australes and Antarctiques Francaises), the various French DXCC island Entities in the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Americas (from 1945 to 1970), pre-1945 countries, French Departments and CONUS, plus a gallery for cards not accepted by DXCC.
