    New DX entities

    The five islands of the Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean Sea are to undergo constitutional status changes next month and result in a four new DXCC entities.

    Sint Maarten PJ7, Curacao PJ2, Bonaire PJ4, each are to become a DX entity, while Saba PJ6 and Sint Eustatius PJ5 combined, are set to be a single entity due to their close proximity.

    There are two announced DXpeditions to Sint Maarten, and one each to Saba, Bonaire and Curacao, with that island also being the venue at the time for the Global Amateur Radio Emergency Conference GAREC-2010.

    The DX community is waiting for the 10th day of the 10th month 2010 for the new DX entities

    Two existing DXCC entities, PJ2/PJ4 Leeward Islands and PJ5/PJ6/PJ7 Windward Islands, is said to be set for deletion at the same time.

    Aruba P4 seceded from the Netherlands Antilles in 1986 and gained DXCC entity status at that time.

    ARRL Awards Committee Statement on Dissolution of the Netherlands Antillies

    From an email sent a few minutes ago:

    Commencing at 0400Z (12:00 AM local time) on 10 October, 2010, operation from the islands of Curacao, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Saba, and St Eustatius will count for a yet-to-be-determined number of new entities under the DXCC List Criteria, and Political Entities, Rule 1 and/or Rule 2 Geographic Separation Entities. When the Awards Committee determines what Rule 1 or Rule 2 actions apply, it will announce the final disposition of the entities on the DXCC list.

    The DXCC desk will not accept confirmations for these new entities until after 1 January, 2011.

    Cool! I can use some new ones. After 27 years, i finally got 7X...thats the last new one i got. It had been quite a while since the last one before that. Once you get past 220, it slows way down.

    I know what you mean. I'm looking forward to finally breaking the 300 worked/confirmed plateau!

    I am not counting Lebenon since Puzant has a nasty habit of ignoring my request for a simple little piece of cardboard, ive sent him money on numerous occasions through the most secured means i can...oh well. I have to wait for another OD station i guess.

    I have a weird log, i have some great and rare ones confirmed, but i still dont have commons like 4X or SV. Still waiting for the bands to really pop, ive seen some signs of life lately, but its sporadic, nothing i can do about that unfortunately.

    Night time 40m has been getting pretty lively out here on the Left Coast. Lots of JA, VK and LOA action lately.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
