[OKDXA] What a Revoltin' Development...

[Kim Elmore]

The way i works is that I gotta have 100 current entities on each band 
at the time of submission. If entities are deleted later, the 5BDXCC  
remains valid because it was valid *at the time of submission*. A peter 
pointed out below, deleted entities don;t ever count for Honor Roll, 
something that doesn't much worry me since at the rate I'm piling 'em 
up, I'll never get there.

MX 73 & CU in the Pileups,

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 Does that imply that your award no longer valid – even if you have the plaque hanging on  your shack wall.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 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?
