IOTA HONOUR ROLL ---> "The 2017 Honour Roll and Annual Listings have been posted on the IOTA website (http://www.rsgbiota.org/info/). Together the two main listings show growth of 8.4% over the same listings in 2016. 207 record-holders have scores of 1000 or more IOTA groups, an increase of 11.3%, and 552 have scores of at least 750 groups, the number required for the IOTA Plaque, up by 6.4%. Scores at the top continue to close with 35 record-holders breaking through the 1100 mark. Congratulations to joint leaders 9A2AA, I2YDX and I8ACB on 1118 groups out of a possible 1123 and indeed to all who have joined the IOTA family or updated in the last year". [TNX G3KMA] IREF ---> The Island Radio Expedition Foundation (IREF) was founded in 1999 for the sole purpose of providing financial assistance for expeditions to rare IOTA groups (i.e. confirmed by 15% or less of island chasers). The organization is truly international in scope and a seven person Board (N5UR, NI5DX, W9DC, K9AJ, G3NUG, CT1EEB and JA9IFF) decides on grants. IREF has provided about $75,000 in funding since its inception. "IREF hasn't had to solicit support in over a decade, but the contribution landscape seems to be changing", IREF President Mike Crownover (AD5A) says, and the Foundation "has recently had to reduce our grant amounts because of a shrinking treasury". With the advent of OQRS, "it is much easier for individuals to direct their dollars specifically to expeditions they work", but when using OQRS, "you only support expeditions you work, contributing to IREF who supports rare expeditions might provide enough support for expeditioners to go to that next one you need". To contribute via PayPal, go to www.islandradio.org and click on the "Join" tab. IREF is also in need of a webmaster: "if you are so inclined and have the expertise", please contact AD5A or AB5EB. OH2BH'S BIRTHDAY ON THE AIR (BOTA) ---> "The OH2BH 70th Birthday Anniversary tour was to include ten stops. They've taken Martti to the countries and islands that once affected him greatly along his road to becoming such a well-known figure in the DX and Contest communities. But he missed one of them. EA8BH, the Canary Islands will now be aired post festum in the ARRL DX Contest this coming weekend (4-5 March). You can complete your BOTA hunt with EA8BH.

Contacts with these ten stops give you 5 points each, while working OH2BH/OH70BH during 2016 adds 25 points to your point account. There is a surprise prize for the winner and a signed certificate for high scorers". [TNX OH2BH] QSL GALLERY ---> The large collection of QSL cards on Les Nouvelles DX's web site has been updated.
