Hello DXers:

A few items of interest along with the Contest List...

PJ NEWS:

Mar 3, 2011: DXCC New Year 2011 -- Bill Moore popped the cork on the
champagne Today and we spent 3 minutes celebrating the completion of 2010's
DXCC Processing and started-in on 2011.  
The biggest changes include the deletions of the Netherlands Antilles
entities and the addition of the four new entities (PJ2, PJ4, PJ5/6, and
PJ7) to the system.  It will take some time for all the changes to appear
throughout the system.  Already you might notice that your current entity
totals have dropped because of the deletions.  If you had both of the PJs
confirmed on 10 bands, you will see your entity total drop by 20.
The PJ operations have already started obtaining their certificates and will
be Entering their logs into LoTW shortly -- some may make it into the system
by 00Z 4 March.

The following was received today:

PJ2/K8ND, Jeff:  After requesting my new LoTW certificate for PJ2/K8ND just
before midnight, I received my requested new LoTW certificate just before 9
AM today, and uploaded my 4126 post 10-10-10 PJ2/K8ND QSOS by 9:30 AM. 
The LoTW computers processed my uploads just before 11 AM, and I had
immediate confirmation matches for 1755 QSOs (42.5%)!

PJ2T, from Scott, N9AG (QSL Manager) earlier this week:  As a follow up, I
have just mailed the last of the 6000 pre-December PJ2T QSLs.  I'm starting
on the newer ones now.

PJ6A, from Bill, N4NX (QSL Manager):  Wanted to make you aware that ALL of
the PJ6A logs were successfully uploaded to LoTW last night.  I am already
receiving emails of confirmation.  

PJ7E, from Craig, K9CT & Joe, W8GEX (co-leaders):  We are doing very well
getting out QSLs but still have about 5 mailing trays to confirm yet. Tom,
N4XP, our QSL manager, expects to complete those in the next three weeks.
The OQSL will be shut down on March 4th. The OQSL service has been a huge
success with certificates issued with the QSLs. All of the OQSLs received at
this time have been mailed. ARRL has announced that they will soon be
issuing the LOTW certificates to the new PJs. We are ready to upload the
logs  at that time. The PJ7E team thanks everyone for their QSO's. 
 
Attached to this email is the list of Announced Operations for the ARRL SSB
contest this weekend.

Have fun..

73,
Carl, N4AA
