ARLD005: New DXCC Entity Added
The International Telecommunication Union, in its
Operational Bulletin No. 685 of February 1, 1999, has allocated
the callsign prefix E4 for use by Palestine. This is in
accordance with the Resolution PLEN/3 of the Plenipotentiary
Conference of the ITU held in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1998.
Under the current DXCC List Criteria, Section 1,
this callsign allocation meets the requirement of paragraph b.
Palestine will be added to the DXCC List
effective October 1, 1999. Contacts made with E4 stations after
February 1, 1999, will count for this new entity.
Under the DXCC rules, contacts with the deleted
entity of Palestine made prior to June 30, 1968 do not count for
this entity. There is no commonality of territory or
administration.
