[OKDXA] What a Revoltin' Development...

[Thomas Webb]

Kim,
    It's my understanding once you have DXCC and even if one of the entities is
deleted, your award still stands. 

 'A change in the DXCC Criteria shall not affect the status of any Entity on the
DXCC List at the time of the change. In other words, criteria changes will not
be applied retroactively to Entities on the List.'

Kim:

I did not know that the 5 Band DXCC only counted current entities. I have a
hypothetical question. Lets say that you had 102 confirmed "current" countries
and they were confirmed and added to your official DXCC total for 10 meters.
Then lets say that three of your QSOs for DXCC credit on 10 meters have since
become deleted. Does that imply that your award no longer valid - even if you
have the plaque hanging on  your shack wall. 

I have a 5 band DXCC right now with endorsement medallions for 30meters,
17meters, and 12meters. I don't know if the DXCC count for the 5 band DXCC is
subject to being cancelled if too many entities become deleted. Say I worked
"Podunk Island" on 20, 17, 15, and 12 and last week it was deleted. Could this
potentially cause my 8 band DXCC to be null and void? 

BTW there is a semi rare one on right now on FT8 on 10meters   28.074 Mhz.  I
worked him a few minutes ago. This is only the 2nd time I've worked Angola  The
call is D2UY.

It turns out that I don't yet have my 5BDXCC: while I have 100 entities
(exactly) on 10 m, I'd missed the rather important fact that three of those are
deleted. Which means I have only 97 *current* entities. having seen the magic
"100" on 10 m, I neglected to check how many were current. Sigh.

The good news is 10 m is regularly hot as a firecracker so I should be able to
find those needed three without too much pain.

MX, 73, and see you in the pileups,
