ARRL DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L, reports that DXCC has completed processing applications for 2007. As such, St Barthelemy (FJ) has been added to the DXCC computer system and Logbook of The World (LoTW). With the addition, this moves the #1 Honor Roll position to 338 current entities; operators now need 329 entities to qualify for Honor Roll. “While DXCC has completed applications for 2007, there are a number of application returns still being mailed, so it may be another 2-3 weeks before applicants receive their 2007 return,” Moore said. “LoTW is now accepting certificate requests for St Barthelemy; once those logs are submitted, the matches should occur and applicants can claim DXCC credit.” For programmers who use the DXCC entity numbering system, the entity code for St Barthelemy is 516.

ARRL DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L, reports that there has been some confusion circulating regarding the current processing time and how it is affecting the addition of St Barthelemy (FJ) to the DXCC list and Logbook of The World. Before processing 2008 applications (containing St Barthelemy cards), DXCC must complete and close out all 2007 applications. The pace of the current application processing allows an estimated completion period of late March. Upon completion of 2007 applications, we shut DXCC down for about a day while we run all of the yearly lists. Only after these lists are completed can we add FJ to the DXCC List and in turn, Logbook of The World. DXCC staff is working hard to reduce the turnaround time, and we appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to get caught up. You can help by planning your submissions wisely and taking steps to make sure your applications are prepared according to the instructions posted on the DXCC application form and as noted in the FAQ http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/faq/ . There will be plenty of time for everyone to have their Honor Roll submissions in place by December 31, 2008. For more information on the DX Century Club program, please see the DXCC Web site http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/ [ARRL LETTER via eham.net]
