[SEDXC] POSSIBLE NEW ONE COMING

[Jeff Clarke]

The dismantling of the Netherland Antilles was first scheduled to be in July 
2007. That date was postponed to
 December 15th 2008. That date has now been postponed again to an indefinite 
future date. I doubt the ARRL
DXCC is going to act until something happens.

Netherlands at

I have been following this closely since I have been going to the Netherland 
Antillies since 2001 to contest from either PJ2T and now PJ4A.

While I'm on that subject K4BAI,W4OC,NO2R and I will be operating on Bonaire 
as PJ4A in CQWW DX CW. We arrive
on Nov 25th and Depart Dec 3rd. QSL all of our PJ4A and PJ4/homecall QSO's 
to K4BAI.
