WISHING EVERYONE A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE HOLIDAY SEASON!
NOVEMBER 2010
The Multi-band and Multi-mode DXCC forms have had minor changes to correct general errors, and new applicants are encouraged to download and use these forms. The earlier form (dated 10-10-10) is still valide for applications or upgrades after 01-01-11.
There has been very little movement in the standings as I think everyone is waiting until 01-01-11 to submit them!
OCTOBER 2010
Both PJ entities were deleted and four new PJ entities were added effective 10-10-10. The application forms have been updated to reflect these changes.
FOR EXISITING DXCC HOLDERS: PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE NEW FORMS AND cut-paste your entities from the old form to the new one. Then, submit to awards manager. Please do NOT add any new claims before sending the new forms to me. I will process the forms then return to you for additions and resubmission to me.
This is a reminder: We no longer accept 'paper aplications'. If you do not yet have an electronic application on file and wish to update, you will be required to fill out an electronic application. All current credits will be processed by me, then returned to you for adding new claims and returning to me.
