NEW DXCC ENTITY
The ARRL DXCC Desk is pleased to announce the addition of St Barthelemy
(FJ) to the DXCC List, making the island entity number 338 with an effective
date of 14 December, 2007. Cards with contacts dated December 14, 2007
or after will be accepted for DXCC credit.
New card submissions for St Barthelemy will not be accepted until January
1, 2008 in order to allow time for administrative adjustments. French
St Martin (FS), while also added to the List of Dependencies and Areas
of Special Sovereignty, will remain on the DXCC List, but it is now considered
a Point 1 Political Entity under the same classification as that of St
Barthelemy. If St. Martin has already been worked, confirmed and credited
to a DXCC award, it is unnecessary to rework it for DXCC credit.
THIS WEEKEND ON THE RADIO
The NCCC CW Sprint and RAEM CW Contest are up for this weekend. The DARC
Christmas Contest and SKCC CW Sprint are scheduled for December 26. The
Lighthouse Christmas
Lights QSO Party runs until January 1.
Please see December QST, page 78, and the ARRL and WA7BNM contest web
