[Arlyce and Mike Nowack]

This latest info on the upcoming PJ status:

SB DX ARL ARLD038
ARLD038 ARRL Awards Committee Statement on Dissolution of the Netherlands
Antilles

To clarify the administrative process by which the anticipated changes to
the two existing Netherlands Antilles DXCC entities will be made, the ARRL
Awards Committee has determined that at 0400Z (12:00 AM local time in the
islands) on 10 October 2010, the two Netherland Antilles DXCC entities will
be deleted.  

Commencing at 0400Z (12:00 AM local time) on 10 October, 2010, operation
from the islands of Curacao, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Saba, and St Eustatius
will count for a yet-to-be-determined number of new entities under the DXCC
List Criteria, and Political Entities, Rule 1 and/or Rule 2 Geographic
Separation Entities.  

When the Awards Committee determines what Rule 1 or Rule 2 actions apply, it
will announce the final disposition of the entities on the DXCC list.  The
DXCC desk will not accept confirmations for these new entities until after 1
January, 2011.

Reportedly, 4 new ones will be added but we must wait and see.
