[Dx4win] Possibility of new DXCC entity 9 July 2011
There is a possibility of a new political DXCC entity starting Saturday, 9 July 2011, Southern Sudan: http://www.dxfriends.com/SouthernSudan2011/ You can read more about its recent history here: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Southern_Sudan This would be an entirely new DXCC entity, not a reincarnation of the currently deleted ST0 entity. Remember that to be added to the ARRL DXCC list, one of the following *must* be true: a) The entity is a UN Member State. b) The entity has been assigned a callsign prefix bloc by the ITU. (The exceptions to this rule are international organizations, such as the UN and ICAO. These Entities are classified under Special Areas, 3.a); and Ineligible Areas, 4.b).) A provisional prefix bloc assignment may be made by the Secretary General of ITU. Should such provisional assignments not be ratified later by the full ITU, the Entity will be deleted from the DXCC List. It is not known whether or when either of those two conditions will be satisfied. The entity will *not* be added to the DXCC list until that time (countries are not added retroactively, nor are they back-dated). Get on the air and work whatever you hear. I will release a new country file as quickly as I can, once the ARRL has made their announcement. After you install the new country file, your DX4WIN country status will update automatically. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

UN admission is scheduled for July 14th which, if it happens (and it is likely) would be the start date of the new entity... 73 Paul F6EXV Le 06/07/2011 18:55, Jim Reisert AD1C a écrit : There is a possibility of a new political DXCC entity starting Saturday, 9 July 2011, Southern Sudan: http://www.dxfriends.com/SouthernSudan2011/ You can read more about its recent history here: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Southern_Sudan This would be an entirely new DXCC entity, not a reincarnation of the currently deleted ST0 entity.
