The dissolution of the Netherland Antilles has caused changes to the DXCC
List.

 

As per the DXCC rules, the two Netherland Antilles DXCC entities will be
deleted and moved to the Deleted Entities List.  Four new entities will be
added to the DXCC List : (1) Curacao; (2) St. Maarten; (3) Saba and St.
Eustatius; and (4) Bonaire.  The event date and time for these changes will
be 0400Z, 10 October, 2010.  Confirmations for these new entities will be
accepted for credit starting 1 January, 2011.

 

Other administrative changes and actions will be announced as they are
finalized.
