[DX-NEWS] DXCC Annual List Deadline Change
Beginning in September 2004, there will be no deadline for the DXCC Annual List. We have been working toward this end for several years. In previous years, September 30 was the cutoff point for compiling the entity totals for the DXCC Annual List, published in the DXCC Yearbook. Over the years, DXCC participants tended to collect cards and submit them once a year, in September, to ensure the highest possible total for the listing. A major downside of the deadline is that we receive over 25% of our annual credit submissions during the month of the deadline. This in turn creates a huge increase in workload and a lengthy processing time. Going forward, the lists of DXCC standings previously published in the DXCC Yearbook will be replaced by complete lists on the ARRL Web site. The new Web-based lists should be ready and on-line early in the first quarter of 2005, when the listings in the DXCC Yearbook would normally have been published. After initial publication, the new lists published on the Web will be updated regularly, perhaps weekly or even daily. They will also include the standings of all DXCC members, not just those who made a submission in the previous year (as has been the practice with the printed Yearbook due to space limitations). A smaller version of the Yearbook will be published, containing highlights of the standings, along with other features, as in the past. 73 es DX!

[DX-NEWS] GB2OWM Orkney Science Festival
The Orkney Wireless Museum will be on the air as GB2OWM during the Orkney Science Festival between 1 and 11 September. Probable operating times will be weekdays and Sundays between 2.30 and 4.30pm and on Saturdays from 10.00am to 12.30pm. The 2004 Festival will run from Wednesday 1st to Saturday 11th September. It will open in spectacular style with a concert by the visiting dancers and drummers from Sturgeon Lake, Saskatchewan, on the evening of Thursday 2nd. The relationship between traditional worldviews and modern science is one of the themes of this year's Festival, particularly appropriate in an island group with a rich heritage of ancient sites such as the Ring of Brodgar which have been shown to contain sophisticated astronomical alignments. Orkney's rich archaeological heritage, internationally-renowned, features each year in the Festival programme, with new insights and reports of excavations. The glories of the Neolithic, with the Ring of Brodgar and Maeshowe and Skara Brae, have long been regarded as the start of it all, but research in recent years is throwing up tantalising hints of an older Mesolithic hunter-gatherer culture.
