The dissolution of the Netherland Antilles has caused changes to the
DXCC List. As per the DXCC rules, the two Netherland Antilles DXCC
entities will be deleted and moved to the Deleted Entities List. Four
new entities will be added to the DXCC List: (1) CuraƧao; (2) Sint
Maarten; (3) Saba and St Eustatius, and (4) Bonaire. The event date
and time for these changes will be 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.

[DX-NEWS] Unbelievable!

2010-10-13 Thread Joe Subich, W4TV


The DXCC Desk have chosen to thumb their noses at the DXCC rules
and announced four (4) new ones effective 10/10/10.  See:

Since the rules no longer seem to apply, what will be the next
Baldwin's Reef?  Will we see more out of country operations
like those of Romeo and Don Miller?

Well, it's official, the Department of State has only listed
St. Maarten and Curacao as Dependencies and Areas of Special
Sovereignty.

Since the separation between Bonaire and Saba is less than the
required 800 km when calculated using the more accurate WGS84
standard, the BES Islands *should* qualify as a *one* entity.
The bed has been made ... if ARRL follow the rules, there
will be *three* new ones. We'll see how important the rules
are.
