[Dx-qsl] xt2 question

[WC6DX@aol.com]

Hi, Gary.  Good questions which were all covered in the DXCC rules.  I quote 
an older version (April 1995 edition) which remains clear.  Section III was 
the deletion criteria.

The XT2 point was specifically cited as an example in the DXCC rules, Section 
III (d):
" ... a country that merely changes its name (such as when Upper Volta became 
Burkina Faso) does not change its basic status as a DXCC country ..."

Section III (c) dealt with partition and so the Czechoslovakia situation is 
clear.  "... one DXCC country is deleted and two or more DXCC countries are 
created."

Sorry, you don't get a third Germany.  You were probably thinking about 
unification Section III (b) but the German case was actually under Section 
III (a) annexation: "... the annexed area becomes a deleted country."  
Working Germany after unification counts as the same Federal Republic of 
Germany as before unification.
