DXCC NEWS. Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL Awards Branch Manager, reports on the
Crimea and DXCC situation: Upon request of the CEO, the ARRL Awards
committee evaluated the situation at present in Crimea against the DXCC
rules. As the interpreter of the rules, the following is the Awards
Committee's decision on how to "count" QSOs with stations operating
from Crimea.
Crimea is not a DXCC entity. Neither Russia nor Ukraine is a rare
entity and the vast majority of confirmations used for DXCC credit for
either entity do not involve Crimea.
DXCC Rule 4 reads:
"4. Confirmation data for two-way communications must include the
call signs of both stations, the entity name as shown in the DXCC
List, mode, date, time and band. Except as permitted in Rule 1,
cross-mode contacts are not permitted for DXCC credits. Confirmations
not containing all required information may be rejected."
A QSL with a call sign issued by the administration of Ukraine and
showing the entity name as Ukraine counts as Ukraine.
A QSL with a call sign issued by the administration of Russia and
showing the entity name as Russia counts as Russia.
A QSL that satisfies neither condition does not count for either entity.
73 es DX!
FT4T, TROMELIN (Update). The FT4TA DXpedition team to Tromelin Island,
which takes place between October 30th and November 10th, have announced

Oceania - Al, ZL2AL; E-mail address: leezl2al@gmail.com
North America (*East Coast) / South America - Don, N1DG; don@aurumtel.com
North America (*West Coast) - Rich, KY6R; E-mail address: ky6r@arrl.net
* To avoid confusion on the definition of East Coast and West Coast, =
they decided that the boundary is the Mississippi River. All that is =

Rusty Epps/W6OAT and Ken Anderson/K6TA retired from the board this year

Our scholarship funds will be directed toward supporting new DXers (age
25 or less) at CT University sessions over the next two years.

DXpeditions to the rare and most difficult entities.
At the International DX Convention banquet, we were presented a generous
check of $12,000 from the Southern California DX Club.
The board is grateful for the generous contributions from the DX
community, without such support, DXpeditions to the Most Wanted and hard
to get to entities would not happen. Have you donated yet? You can make

lease 16 stations permission to start operating on 60 meters on May 1st.
The RSM (Radio Society of Macedonia) requested permission for a group of
16 dedicated radio amateurs with good experience, although the permission
is given to RSM as an organization - not to individuals. The RSM is given
discretion to modify the list so this list may be extended. The following
are currently listed: Z31CZ, Z31MM, Z32ID, Z32M, Z33A, Z33F, Z34M, Z35B,
Z35F, Z35G, Z35T, Z35W, Z36W, Z39A, Z39Z, and Z30A.
ZK3, TOKELAU (Update). Operators Jacek/SP5EAQ and Marcin/SP5ES plan to
be active from Nukunonu Atoll starting October 8th, for a period of three
weeks. However, the dates may change due to the unpredictability of trans-
port. Activity will be on 80-10 meters using CW and SSB. Jacek operates
only SSB, while Marcin SSB and CW. They expect to receive the callsigns
ZK3Q (SP5EAQ) and ZK3E (SP5ES) -- callsigns to be confirmed. QSL route
TBD. For more details and updates, see: http://zk3.sp5drh.com
ADDED NOTE: There may be some activity from Apia, Samoa (5W) planned
during their return back (early November). =
