IOTA NEWS ---> "the last date for mailing applications or score updates to
checkpoints for inclusion in the 2019 Honour Roll and other performance

scores will be held over to the following year's listing. It is important
that participants who have not updated since the 2014 annual listings and
wish to remain listed should make a submission on or before 31 January".

OPDX MAILING LIST ---> On 11 January the server that Tedd, KB8NW had used
since the late Eighties was "hacked and wiped", and the OPDX Bulletin's
mailing list "is probably gone for good". For the time being, the weekly
bulletins can be still read online at http://www.papays.com/opdx.html (see
OPDX #1398 for further information). Those needing to contact Tedd should
use kb8nw[@]hotmail.com or kb8nw[@]arrl.net, as his old email address does
