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 nationslist 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.
