[UK-CONTEST] ARRL DXCC backlog

[Dave Sharred]

Quote from this weeks OPDX:

DXCC NEWS (DXCC Applications Received Page Information). Bill Moore, NC1L,
ARRL DXCC Manager, reports: "Recently, I inadvertently noted a mailing
date of September 14th in the block on this page. This was, in fact, the
date DXCC was entering applications for and not the mailing date. The
actual current mailing period in DXCC as noted on the page is the week
of August 31st, but this also includes all remaining August applications.
All pending August applications should be finished in the next 1-2 weeks.
DXCC is currently entering applications received during the 3rd week
of September.
DXCC is currently mailing the remaining applications for August.
The current backlog is estimated to be: 15 Weeks.
This reporting is fluid because applications before and after this
date may be in progress for both mailing and entering. The above figures
represent the average period.
Also, please remember it is currently the Christmas season, and in
addition to DXCC mail delays, additional delays may occur in the next
few weeks due to USPS overload..........73 es DX!"
