It is full of errors and omissions, for example: 7O1YGF was approved in 2009 ago. Neither 9Q6AL not 9Q6CC is listed. 1A6SBO was not S.M.O.M. It was Bishop Rock, off the coast of California, a 1967 operation by the original WA6SBO. Using a search engine, I found a link to this site: http://www.ok1rr.com/index.php/operating/47-operations-not-accepted-for-dxcc however, the domain name has expired and it is not accessible. 73, John, K9MM
