DXCC NEWS. Bill Moore, NC1L, Awards Branch Manager, reports that the
following are approved for DXCC credit:
TJ9PF =96 Cameroon; 2011 Operation. Special Note: "We have been notified
that the TJ9PF QSL labels have been printed with the year 2001
instead of 2011. This is a known software bug that has been
fixed. Regardless, we do not believe the integrity of the
TJ9PF logs or operation are affected by this printing error.
Also, the TJ9PF logs have now been uploaded to LoTW, providing
a primary source of QSO confirmations. We will add instructions
to the DXCC system internally to note this operation's correct
year. No one wants to promote the wasting of resources to
reprint labels or cards, or to require resending of cards to
fix an error which has little effect on the program. DXCC will
accept TJ9PF QSLs showing the date as 2001.
VK0KEV =96 Macquarie Island; 2011 Operation. If you=92ve had this opera=
tion
rejected in a recent application please send a note to
dxcc@arrl.org . You can verify the update to your record
either by checking your LoTW account, or, you=92ll see a

ST0, SOUTHERN SUDAN. The following press release (Bulletin #3) was sent
out on June 6th (edited): "DXpedition to Southern Sudan -- The Intrepid-DX
Group and the DX Friends/Tifariti Gang continues to move forward with our
plans to activate the new country of Southern Sudan with a large multi-
national DXpedition.
We have held several successful meetings with representatives of the
Government of Southern Sudan. We have been issued an amateur radio license
for the purpose of this DXpedition. The Government of South Sudan is very
supportive of our plans to visit Juba and to help them celebrate the birth
of their new country.
The Government of South Sudan will declare their independence from Sudan
on July 9th, 2011. They have applied to the UN for admission as a member
state. The UN General Assembly and Security Council will vote on the matter
in the weeks following the declaration of independence.
While there have been attacks and fighting in the disputed border region
of Abyei, these issues are not expected to derail the emergence of this
new country.
We plan to be in the new capital of Juba and to be ready to start our
DXpedition upon admission by the UN. We will have 18 operators operating
24X7 on seven active stations.
At this time, we are seeking Foundation, Club and Individual Sponsors
to help us defray the costs of carrying out this DXpedition. =
