No it won't. The entities are identified by their ADIF country code, for which each entity has a unique code. I.e. PJ2/Neth. Antilles has a different code from PJ2/Curacao. The ARRL just wants to start with a clean slate, and I don't blame them. I don't understand what all the impatience is about, the deadline for NEXT year's annual listing isn't until 12/31/2011! 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us ----------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.
