Also, I believe nothing can be handwritten. The IOTA info is supposed to be
printed on the card or on the QSL info label (if used). Please correct me if
I am wrong. It would be a shame if none of the PJ2/OH1VR Q's count for IOTA
credit.

It seems some of you are missing the most important issue.
The mandatory field in a IOTA QSL card is the NAME OF THE ISLAND, not the 
IOTA reference, it doesn't really matters if the card has the reference in 
it but it must have the name of the Island (not the Island group).
I know IOTA likes to see the name of the Island written in its original 
language, for example not "Peach Island" but "Ilha do Pessegueiro".
Curaçao is counting for SA-099 since 04:00 UTC of 10/10/10, it doesn't 
matters if IOTA SA-099 is handwritten as far as the QSL shows the name 
Island of Curaçao, I think simply Curaçao will do.
