ARRL NEWS RELEASE: DXCC RULE CHANGE - Upon request of the Programs and Services Committee (PSC), the DXAC has studied the impact of a change to the DXCC Rules. The DXAC, the Awards Committee and the PSC have concurred in this rule change, which will become effective June 15, 2006 at 0001Z. New text replaces the previously removed DXCC Rule, Section II, 1. Political Entities, Paragraph c). The new text shall read: c) The Entity contains a permanent population, is administered by a local government, and is located at least 800 km from its parent. To satisfy the "permanent population" and "administered by a local government" criteria of this sub-section, an Entity must be listed on either (a) the U.S. Department of State's list of "Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty" as having a local "Administrative Center," or (b) the United Nations list of "Non-Self-Governing Territories." Rule 1c) is intended to recognize entities that are sufficiently separate from their parent for DXCC purposes but do not qualify under Rule 1a) or 1b). The new rule will cause a change to Point 1 status for certain entities. This in turn will reduce the mileage for a first separation for these entities from 800 km to 350 km. The lists referenced in the text of the rule can be viewed at the following Web sites: * the DOS list of Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty at http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/10543.htm,  and * the U.N. list of Non-Self-Governing Territories at http://www.un.org/depts/dpi/decolonization/trust3.htm . QSOs with any new entity resulting from this rule change will count for credit for the new entity only if the QSOs are made on or after the Start Date for the entity. In no case will QSOs made prior to the date of this notice be considered for credit for any new entity created under this rule. Applications for DXCC award credits resulting from this change will be accepted on or after October 1, 2006. For further information please contact Wayne Mills, N7NG ( n7ng@arrl.org ). June 14, 2006.

 

 

FIELD DAY NEWS - KC4AAA Amundsen-Scott Station South Pole Antarctica To Participate in 2006 Field Day: Wayne, N7NG, reports: "Robert Reynolds, N0QFQ, the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station Antarctica on-site Satellite Communications Technician will be leading a major 2006 Field Day activity for KC4AAA. Operations will take place 1800z, 24th June through 2100z, 25th June. Experience shows that best opportunity for North and South American stations contacts appears around 2300z on the eastern seaboard and moves westward with time until the window seems to close around 0400z. There is much less certainty for other station contact times around the world. Primary operating frequency will be 14.243 MHz +/- a few hundred kHz depending on band occupancy. Other bands will be monitored for openings and may be exploited, however, 20m SSB operations will be the primary operating mode. South Pole will be operating as a "home" station with supplied power (Class 1D). Robert will have a team of up to 10 operators manning the station, most of whom he's teaching in a Ham radio licensing class on station. The team will be transmitting 1 kW and primarily be using a pair of Log-periodic antennas aimed toward the US. Given South Pole's location right under the auroral oval, radiowave propagation can make South Pole intercontinental HF radio communications a challenge, so listen carefully! Plans call for implementing a Logbook of The World (LoTW) for QSO verifications. QSL cards will come later in the year."
