[SEDXC] Deleted PJ Countries

[Paul Hansen]

I partially misread Hal's post. You're right nothing will happen either way
until after 1 Jan 2011. I think we are all aware of the timing issue. But,
once deleted they will no longer count for anything but total countries. So
we're just stumbling over semantics. We will experience a gross gain of 40
possible Challenge points at the same time we suffer the loss of 20. Looks
like a net gain of 20 regardless how slice it. Your "NO" only applies for a
short time, however. It will turn into a "YES" sooner or later. My money is
on sooner. 


Thank you,

Paul,

The answer to his question is NO.  Deleted PJs will not be removed from the
Challenge count or any DXCC entity count until the new PJs are added.  In
other words challenge totals will only be impacted by the net difference of
Deleted PJs vs. New PJs.  That will take place at the time the new PJs are
accepted for credit in  2011.  Yes, you are correct that 10 bands are
possible for any DXCC entity as long as that entity allows operation on the
same 10 bands that the DXCC desk accepts for credit.
