ARRL Awards Committee Makes Statement on Dissolution of Netherlands Antilles
09/23/2010

To clarify the administrative process by which the anticipated changes to
the two existing Netherlands Antilles DXCC entities will be made, the ARRL
Awards Committee has determined that at 0400 UTC (12:00 AM local time in the
islands) on October 10, 2010, the two Netherland Antilles DXCC entities will
be deleted. Commencing at 0400 UTC (12:00 AM local time) on October 10,
2010, operation from the islands of Curacao, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Saba and
St Eustatius will count for a yet-to-be-determined number of new entities
under the DXCC List Criteria and Political Entities, Rule 1 and/or Rule 2
Geographic Separation Entities. When the Awards Committee determines what
Rule 1 or Rule 2 actions apply, it will announce the final disposition of
the entities on the DXCC list. The DXCC desk will not accept confirmations
for these new entities until after January 1, 2011.
