[EIDXA] Fw: [hamlogger] A new DXCC Entity starting from 9 July 2011?

[Michael and Arlyce Nowack]

It will be interesting to see how this works out as the issue is reviewed by the DXAC.  That is, will the new Southern Sudan be the same as the old Southern Sudan, resurrecting the old ST0 entity or if it will be determined to be a brand new country, independent of Sudan and a different entity from the old ST0.

Southern Sudan was a DXCC entity (based I think on it being an autonomous region of Sudan) for a while but was moved to the deleted list in 1994.  Here is the footnote from the DXCC Deleted list:

Note 36. (ST0) Only contacts made between May 7, 1972 and December 31, 1994 count for this entity.

Hi.
A new DXCC Entity starting from 9 July 2011?

...The civil war ended with the signing of a Comprehensive Peace Agreement which 
granted autonomy to the southern region of the country. Following a 

referendum held in January 2011, Southern Sudan will secede on 9 July 2011.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan

...A referendum on independence for Southern Sudan was held from 9–15 January 
2011. Preliminary results released by the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission 
on 30 January 2011 indicate that 98% of voters selected the "separation" option, 
with 1% selecting "unity". The final resuls were announced on 7 February with 
98.83% of the electorate opting for secession. The Sudanese Government accepted 
the outcome of the referendum the same day. Southern Sudan is expected to become 
an independent country on 9 July 2011. On 23 January 2011, members of a steering 
committee on post-independence governing told reporters that upon independence 
the land would be named the Republic of South Sudan "out of familiarity and 
convenience." Other names that had been considered were Azania, Nile Republic, 
Kush Republic and even Juwama, a portmanteau for Juba, Wau and Malakal, three 
major cities.
