[Dxbase] new IOTA resulting from PJ changes

[Jim Spears]

In addition to changes in DXCC and CQ awards, IOTA is also affected.  Here
is a press release with the details:

 

***New IOTA Group Announced***

Following today's ARRL announcement of four new DXCC entities in the former
Netherlands Antilles we can now announce IOTA's position. Curacao will, in
accordance with IOTA rule E.5.5 (Island DXCC entity group), become a new
IOTA group with the reference number SA-099, operative from 0400 UTC, 10
October 2010. Contacts made prior to that time/date will continue to count
for SA-006. Bonaire remains as a valid island within SA-006, so its IOTA
status will not change. There will also be no IOTA group number change to
Sint Maarten NA-105 or Saba and Sint Eustatius NA-145, islands split from
each other long ago in accordance with IOTA rules.
