A NEW DXCC Entity - Saint Barthelemy, FJ
Bernie, W8UR, is reporting in The Daily DX that we have a NEW entity on the 
DXCC list as of today. Basically France changed the status of FJ, Saint 
Barthelemy, which previously counted as FJ, FS - Saint Martin. Now it 
appears that FJ and FS will be separate countries and we have a NEW one!

As you probably guessed, Martii, OH2BH, and Olli, OHØXX, have traveled to 
Saint Barthelemy and should begin operation today around 1600 GMT as 
FJ/OH2AM. Initial operations will be on 20-M SSB and 17-M CW to give as many 
as possible a NEW counter for Christmas! (And you thought Santa was only 
putting a piece of coal in your stocking this year!) DX IS!
