Yes, but those two no longer count toward honor roll, or #1 honor roll. So U now need 337 active for top of honor roll.
The deleted ones still add to your DXCC total, but are no longer counted for honor roll, or top of honor roll qualification.
Hope this all makes sense, been working on antennas in the hot sun most of today. So the ol' brain my be less than 100%. Hi HI ............

So does this lower the bar by two for honor roll?

I guess it's a good thing I confirmed them last month before I got my 3 DXCC awards (in the mail today, plus 4 single bands).... yeah, I broke down and did the paperwork.

A few more confirmations and I'll be able to order up more certs and stickers.
