No, Bill...here is the quote from the ARRL DX Bulletin... SB DX ARL ARLD042 ARLD042 Dissolution of Netherlands Antilles Creates Four New DXCC Entities
The dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles has caused changes to the DXCC List. As per the DXCC rules, the two Netherlands Antilles DXCC entities will be deleted and moved to the Deleted Entities List. Four new entities will be added to the DXCC List: (1) Curacao; (2) Sint Maarten; (3) Saba and St Eustatius, and (4) Bonaire. The event date and time for these changes was 0400 UTC, October 10, 2010. Confirmations for these new entities will be accepted for credit starting January 1, 2011. Other administrative changes and actions will be announced as they are finalized. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Fikis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2010 1:54 PM To: Greg Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dxbase] PJ Update Yourself...
