>>* DXCC announces new 15 meter award: The ARRL DXCC Desk has announced the
>>addition of a 15-meter single band, standalone DXCC award. As of June 1,
>>DXCC printouts were set to reflect credits on 15 meters. The award will
>>become available starting July 1. Fifteen Meter DXCC certificates will be
>>dated but not numbered. Deleted entities do not count towards this award.
>>Those who have an active 5 Band DXCC that was processed prior to DXCC
>>computerization and do not have 100 entities on 15 meters will be allowed to
>>submit enough credits on that band to bring their DXCC record to the first
>>100 needed for this award with no per QSO fee. Simply include postage and
>>the award fee. The award fee is $10. Applicants should note their 5BDXCC
>>award number and original issue date on the application form in the block
>>specified. Those uncertain about their 15-meter DXCC credits should contact
>>DXCC for an updated report, prior to submitting further credits. (This helps
>>both applicant and DXCC in that it will avoid duplicates and additional
>>costs, since QSL costs over the limits noted in DXCC Rule #15 are $0.15 per
>>QSO.) DXCC records are available as Adobe PDF files. Applicants may contact
>>DXCC at dxcc@arrl.org for a copy. Hard copies are available from DXCC, 225
>>Main St, Newington, CT 06111 for $1.50 for postage (or an SASE with $1.50 in
>>postage affixed). The records of those who have not submitted since the
>>later part of 1991 are not in the computer, and those applicants must
>>request a hard copy. For more information, contact the DXCC Desk at
>>dxcc@arrl.org.--DXCC Desk
