2007 DXCC Honor Roll List (Update)
Jul 16, 2008 18:46 ET
Bill Moore, NC1L
Upon further review it was determined that the 2007 Honor Roll list that
was published in August 2008 QST was produced from a corrupted report
feature in the DXCC software. Because there is so much data produced
from the raw list (almost 8,000 lines) it was not possible to do a
complete review.
Since the report is too large for a line-by-line review, random
samplings were checked and many were found to be OK. It was not until
the complete report was published that we found the report had more
errors than originally thought.
Publishing a simple correction in an upcoming issue of QST is not
possible. Since the 2007 DXCC yearbook was just getting ready to go to
the printer we placed it on hold. We will be expanding this issue even
more to accommodate a complete reprint of the 2007 Honor Roll list
(something many of you have suggested in previous years.) The 2007 Honor
Roll list will also be published on the DXCC web site and this list will
be separate from the current "live" online Honor Roll list.
We regret any inconvenience caused by this and we appreciate your
patience and understanding.
Note: DXCC numbers as shown on the website are not affected by this
problem. The report generator is a separate module that takes
information from the DXCC database. The errors that were shown in the
list were taken from a previous submission only.
We extend our congratulations to all who have achieved the DXCC Honor
Roll and thank you for your support!
73 es DX!
