[Elecraft] Simple DXCC Questions?

[Stephen W. Kercel]

For "Deleted Countries" you get credit for them if you worked them 
when they were valid countries. The DXCC list includes the valid 
dates for each deleted country. The credit applies to your basic 
count for the DXCC award and endorsements. Thus for example if you 
have 98 current countries and two deleted countries worked when they 
were valid that would qualify you for  a DXCC award.

Where "Deleted Countries" do not count is for the DXCC Honor 
Roll.  To make the Honor Roll, at present you need at least 329 
countries, and "Deleted Countries" are not counted.
