[SEDXC] CQ Awards

[Neil Foster]

FYI
I wonder if Saba and St. Eustatius will have a different prefix 
number since it looks like the ARRL DXCC will count them as one country??

       "Former Netherlands Antilles and CQ Awards and Contests

    With several groups operating this week from the "new" DX entities
created by the breakup of the Netherlands Antilles, questions have arisen
regarding their status for CQ DX awards and contests. This announcement
updates and supplements the preliminary announcement that will appear
in the November issue of CQ magazine, which is already at the printer.

CQ DX Awards
Each of the five islands involved in the change of status retains its
previous PJ callsign prefix (Curacao - PJ2; Bonaire - PJ4; St. Eustatius
- PJ5; Saba - PJ6; and St. Maarten - PJ7). According to CQ DX Awards
Manager Billy Williams, N4UF, the previous entities of the Leeward
Islands (PJ2/PJ4) and Windward Islands (PJ5/PJ6/PJ7) Islands were deleted
as of October 9, 2010. Four new entities - Curacao (PJ2), St. Maarten
(PJ7), Bonaire (PJ4) and Saba/St. Eustatius (PJ5/6) - became active on
October 10, for a net gain of two DX entities. Confirmations for contacts
made with the new entities will be accepted for CQ award credit effective
immediately.
