> DXCC NEWS..................
> * The ARRL Letter reports: "The ARRL's DXCC Branch is digging out
> following the annual 'September rush,' says ARRL Membership Services
> Manager Wayne Mills, N7NG. Applications postmarked by September 30th
> have been accepted, and updates received by that date will be
included
> in The DXCC Yearbook, which will be published in the spring.
'Although
> the DXCC Branch was able to become current last summer, the September
> deadline has come again along with its inherent increase in
workload,'
> Mills said. 'We are currently working on about 2400 applications
> which include more than 240,000 QSL cards.' This represents nearly
> half of all applications--and cards--received each year. Mills said
> that as applications are logged into the DXCC system, they are listed
> on the ARRL Web site
<http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/appstatus.html>.
> With new DXCC software in place next year, the League hopes to be
> able to publish DXCC standings on the ARRL Web site on a
near-real-time
> basis, Mills said, eliminating the need for the September deadline.
> 'This will spread the workload throughout the year and, along with
> the introduction of electronic DXCC applications, minimize turnaround
> time for DXCC applications,' he predicted."
>
> * An official announcement has not yet been made by Bill Moore, NC1L,
> ARRL DXCC Manager, but reports indicate that 7Z1AC and TT8VMFR are
