[LogPlus] Islands on the Air (IOTA) Award.

[Bob Winters]

For a number of years, Ken/W1NG has been instrumental in updating the
IOTA.DBF file, and I know I and many others appreciate his work.  Ken
has informed me that the IOTA system has undergone a number of changes.
A number of fields have become basically obsolute or nearly impossible
to maintain because of the ongoing changes.  For this purpose, I would
like to modify the IOTA Award database structure by removing a few
fields.  Unfortunately, this will not happen for v4.2 but will be
included in v4.3 along with a fresh new iota.dbf file.  

However, between now and then, I'd like your comments.  Please sent them
directly to  bwinters@logplus.org, not the reflector.  I will include
them on a web page.  Remember, the IOTA Handbook should be a ready
reference where all the information inside LOGPlus can be found.
Duplicating the information in a database is actually counter-productive
and honestly a waste of time.

The following fields will be removed - 
	1.  Position
	2.  Comments
	3.  Reference Letter
	4.  Country
	5.  Group

Again, your comments appreciated.   At the release of v4.2, I will also
be posting a survey on the www.logplus.org website that I would
appreciate your comments on.  It will contain a number of questions on
your operating requirements when it comes to awards.  Please take the
time to fill it out.

Bob
