RE: [DX-CHAT] [DX-NEWS] and another new one... (or even two...)

Peter,   If this occurs as you suggest, I suspect that Saint Barthelemy would become a new entity, but Saint Martin would remain as the existing entity.    I think this may depend on exactly how politically separate they are as of the implementation date, and whether the separation is enough to invoke the appropriate DXCC rules regarding entities; I'm not an expert on that.  So best to defer to the DXCC desk for a ruling.    73, ron w3wn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of P. Buijserd Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 3:04 PM To: dx-news@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-NEWS] and another new one... (or even two...) Surfing through Wikipedia I found the following: " Guadeloupe currently includes Saint-Barthélemy and Saint Martin, who have voted to become separate collectivités d'outre-mer in 2003; the change will be implemented in early 2007." This suggests that Saint-Barthélemy could become a new entity next year. maybe even the current FS could be deleted, and also Saint Martin would be a new one...  Any comments or firm dates ? 73 Peter PB1TT
