Topband: ET7L NOT VALID

[Kip Edwards]

All,

	There was some confusion at ARRL about ET7L.  It was among the cards I submitted at the recent PNWDXC in Portland.  My application was acted upon quickly and according to the online LOTW account it was not credited.  However, when I received the hard copy credit slip and credit listing it was credited.

	I brought this to the attention of the DXCC Desk and was advised of the following in an email just received:

		The ET7L contact is not acceptable for DXCC credit.  Any credit 		which was erroneously given has since been removed from every 
		DXCC customers’ record.  We discovered there was a problem with the 		Online DXCC program issuing credit for the call.  Once I 
		had figured this out, we made the necessary changes in the system.

	73 Kip W6SZN

I submitted my cards with some others and my returned DXCC Award Credit Slip showed the ET7L cards _were _accepted.  Now, when I look on-line, they are _not _included in the "Granted" list.
