DXCC 'End of Year' reminder

Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL DXCC Manager, reports: "This is a reminder that the end of the DXCC calendar year is rapidly approaching.

"In order to appear in the printed 'Annual and Honor Roll' listings your submission must be postmarked on or by Wednesday, December 31, 2008.

"The DXCC Annual List is scheduled for publication in the 2008 DXCC Yearbook. In order for your callsign to appear your total for an active award must increase by, at least, one credit. You do not have to reach the next endorsement level. Active awards are indicated by an asterisk(*).
Award categories with 100 or more that do not have an
asterisk will not appear. If you made a submission in 2008 and would like to have an award appear in the list that is not yet activated, you can contact DXCC to activate the award and receive the certificate.

"The fee to activate an award, including postage is $13.75 (USA) and $16.50 (non-USA). You will not be charged a submission fee for this action.

"The DXCC Honor Roll list is scheduled for publication in August 2009 QST. For the 2008 calendar year the minimum requirement to appear in the Honor Roll list is 329 current entities. The Top of the Honor Roll total is 338 for this period. Remember, deleted entities do not count towards the Honor Roll.
