DXCC NEWS...
The ARRL Letter reports: "The
ARRL's DXCC Branch is digging out following the annual
'September rush,' says ARRL Membership Services Manager
Wayne Mills, N7NG. Applications postmarked by September
30th have been accepted, and updates received by that
date will be included in The DXCC Yearbook, which will be
published in the spring. 'Although the DXCC Branch was
able to become current last summer, the September
deadline has come again along with its inherent increase
in workload,' Mills said. 'We are currently working on
about 2400 applications which include more than 240,000
QSL cards.' This represents nearly half of all
applications--and cards--received each year. Mills said
that as applications are logged into the DXCC system,
they are listed on the ARRL Web site http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/appstatus.html..
With new DXCC software in place next year, the League
hopes to be able to publish DXCC standings on the ARRL
Web site on a near-real-time basis, Mills said,
eliminating the need for the September deadline. 'This
will spread the workload throughout the year and, along
with the introduction of electronic DXCC applications,
minimize turnaround time for DXCC applications,' he
predicted."
An official announcement has not yet
been made by Bill Moore, NC1L, ARRL DXCC Manager, but
reports indicate that 7Z1AC and TT8VMFR are now approved
for DXCC.

sent direct as per the address on QRZ.com.

the same phone line as BARF-80 BBS using a data/fax/phone switch.
To access: 1) Dial Number. 2) Wait for first ring (the second
ring should be a false ring from the fax/data switch box) and
then dial four quick ones ("1111"). (NOTE: Some FAX
machines that send single "BEEPS" every second will not
have to do this step.) 3) The phone will pick up and after the
"BEEP" leave your voice message or FAX.
