DXCC Country Changes

From the ARRL Awards Desk

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) Curacao; (2) St. Maarten; (3) Saba and St. Eustatius; and (4) Bonaire.  The event date and time for these changes will be 0400Z, 10 October, 2010.  Confirmations for these new entities will be accepted for credit starting 1 January, 2011.

Other administrative changes and actions will be announced as they are finalized.
