> DXCC NEWS..............
> * Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL DXCC Branch Manager, would like to remind
> everyone that the cutoff date for the next Honor Roll list is rapidly
> approaching. In order to appear in the next list that will appear in
> August 2003 QST, you must be current on the DXCC Honor Roll as of
> March 31, 2003. Applications must be received or postmarked March
31st,
> 2003. With the addition of Ducie Island in 2002, the minimum number
> of entities required is 326, and these include only current entities.
> Deleted entities do not count towards Honor Roll. For Number One Honor
> Roll, the total is 335 current entities. Plaques are still available
for
> anyone who is currently, or previously on the Honor Roll. See the DXCC
> Web site for the latest order form.
>
> * POSSIBLE TWO NEW ENTITIES AND ONE DELETION??? Not yet, but getting
> closer. Yugoslavia's Parliament formally abolished its nation
> (Yugoslavia) on Tuesday, February 4th. The remaining two republics
> of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) will now become two loose unions
> with semi-independence. According to a deal arranged by the European
> Union with an aim to keep the two republics together, Serbia and
> Montenegro will continue to share the capital of Belgrade, and a
> joint administration for defense and foreign affairs. With the
approval
> by the two chambers of the Yugoslav parliament, the birth of a new
> country called "Serbia and Montenegro" was formed. According to the
> ARRL Web page, "The new arrangement will have little immediate impact
> on Amateur Radio. For DXCC purposes, Serbia and Montenegro will be
> considered a single entity--at least for the time being--and amateurs
> there are expected to continue using YU/YT prefixes. The situation
> could change in three years when residents of the two republics would
> be allowed to vote to stick together or go their separate ways."
>
> HP, PANAMA (IOTA Op). Joel, F5PAC, will once again be active from here
> between February 23rd and March 24th. His callsign was not provided and

frequencies.).
