HI to ALL , SEASON GREETINGS & MERRY X-MASS to most of You!
The Independent day of St.Barthelemy is 21.Feb.2007
& thats the real date from when "FJ" have to be count as separate
DXCC. I really dont see any available reason for 14.12.2007
BECAUSE:
"On 21 February 2007, the French Parliament
passed a bill granting COM status to both Saint-Barthelemy and Saint-Martin.
The new status took effect on 22 February, when the law was published in the
Official Journal".
ONLY Bill-N4UF @ CQ DX Awards have the right date:
"FJ & CQ DX AWARDS ---> CQ DX Awards Manager Billy Williams, N4UF has
announced that the island of Saint-Barthelemy (FJ) has been added to the CQ
DX Awards entity list, effective immediately, for confirmed contacts with the
island made on or after 21 February 2007."
"The ARRL DXCC Desk is pleased to announce the addition of St
Barthelemy (FJ) to the DXCC List, making the island entity number
338 with an effective date of 14 December, 2007. Cards with contacts
dated December 14, 2007 or after will be accepted for DXCC credit.
The "event date" that caused St. Barthelemy to be added to the DXCC
list was December 14, 2007, the date the US State Department Fact
sheet was updated by the Bureau of Intelligence and Research....."
So far, I know that independency dates are more important than some other dates.
