[Dx-qsl] South Sudan

Sat Jul 9 15:12:19 EDT 2011

The former Southern Sudan (ST0) was admitted to the DXCC list under a rule
that no longer exists. The new entity will have a new prefix block and
will be listed: (1) when UN admits it as a member [Rule 1a)] or (2) the
ITU assigns its own prefix block to SS [Rule 1b)] ("the event date").
QSO's with the former SS from May 7, 1972 to December 31, 1994 count for
DXCC total, but not for the Honor Roll. 

BTW, I still don't understand why Kosovo cannot be added to the list as a
"special entity". It is an independent and sovereign nation, and we, the
United States, as well as 75 other countries in the world, recognize it as
such. See Department of State, "Background Notes: Kosovo".
