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,
