[OPDX] New Entity On The AIr For The Holiday
Hello DXers,
The following was received from Bill Moore, NC1L:
--------------------------------------------------
DXCC Desk Announces New Entity
The ARRL DXCC Desk is pleased to announce the addition of St Barthelemy
(FJ) to the DXCC List, making the island entity number 338 with an
effective date of 14 December, 2007. Cards with contacts dated December
14, 2007 or after will be accepted for DXCC credit. New card submissions
for St Barthelemy will not be accepted until January 1, 2008 in order to
allow time for administrative adjustments.
Background
On February 21, 2007 the French Ministry issued a decree making St
Barthelemy an Overseas Collective, making its status equal to that of
Guadeloupe, Martinique and other French territories currently on the
DXCC List. On November 8, 2007 the President of Association Des Radio
Amateurs De St Barthelemy, Philippe Delcroix, FJ5DX, contacted the DXCC
Desk, requesting that St Barthelemy be considered a new DXCC entity.
The ´event date¡ that caused St. Barthelemy to be added to the DXCC list
was December 14, 2007, the date the US State Department Fact sheet was
updated by the Bureau of Intelligence and Research. This update added St
Barthelemy to the List of Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty
with its Administrative Center in Gustavia, qualifying it under DXCC
rules in Section II -- 1 Political Entities (c):
c) The Entity contains a permanent population, is administered by a
local government, and is located at least 800 km from its parent. To
satisfy the ´permanent population¡ and ´administered by a local
government¡ criteria of this sub-section, an Entity must be listed on
either (a) the U.S. Department of Statelist of ´Dependencies and
Areas of Special Sovereignty¡ as having a local ´Administrative Center,¡
or (b) the United Nations list of ´Non-Self-Governing Territories.¡
St Martin
French St Martin (FS), while also added to the List of Dependencies and
Areas of Special Sovereignty, will remain on the DXCC List, but it is
now considered a Point 1 Political Entity under the same classification
as that of St Barthelemy.
Please direct any questions you may have about St Barthelemy, St Martin
or the DXCC program to the dxcc@arrl.org
73 es DX!
