DXCC NEWS............. * Many have been wondering why the 7O1YGF operation does not count for DXCC. It is recommended to read an interesting article on the ARRL Web page at: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2002/08/15/2/?nc=1 In short, the DXCC wants "to know that it was authorized by the government..... The DXCC Desk also wants assurances that the Yemeni government would have no reason to disapprove of the ARRL's granting DXCC credit for the operation." * Bill Moore, NC1L, DXCC Manager, announced two items of importance as we enter the final quarter of the 2002 calendar year: 1) This is just a reminder for all DXCC program participants that the September 30, 2002, deadline to have your submissions in for the next DXCC Annual List is rapidly approaching. The DXCC Annual List shows all those who have submitted an application to DXCC between October 1, 2001, through September 30, 2002. In order to be shown in the Annual list you must: Submit an application between October 1, 2001 and September 30, 2002 -- or -- Be current on the DXCC Honor Roll. (Note, a submission is not necessary if you are current on the DXCC Honor Roll, but only those modes that are Honor Roll will be shown.) ** Applications must be received, or postmarked, September 30, 2002. 2) Christmas is coming and you should plan soon if you want to present someone with a wall plaque on time for Christmas as a nice gift. If you know someone who has achieved Top of Honor Roll, Honor Roll, 5 Band DXCC and even the DXCC Challenge, this would make a nice gift for them that they can treasure in their ham shack. Additionally, anyone who has qualified at some time in the past and may have dropped off the Honor Roll can still purchase the plaque. The only requirement is that you, at one time, qualified. If you are interested, the "DXCC Item Order Form" can be found on the DXCC web site at: http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc (Forms can be found on the right side of the page) For questions, contact DXCC at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or by phone at (860)594-0234 or fax at (860)594-0259 EN67 DXPEDITION.
