Interesting! Especially that Curacao will be a new radio country, as it will be a separate political entity. St Maarten has been seperate for geographic reasons anyway, but will be separated from Saba and St Eustatius. Bonaire, Saba, and St Eustatius seem to become parts of the European Union then. They will surely retain their status as radio country just as Martinique and Guadeloupe do, inspite being part of France proper. So the Dutch islands should then make up the following 5 radio countries, instead of 3 (Aruba, ATN, Leeward Isl.) so far: ARUBA, autonomous territory since 1986 BONAIRE , part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands CURACAO, autonomous territory Leeward Islands: ST MAARTEN, autonomous territory SABA AND ST EUSTATIUS, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands Eike > ** NETHERLANDS ANTILLES. > > The Netherlands Antilles are scheduled to be dissolved by 1 July: > http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/11/03/europe/EU_GEN_Netherlands_Antilles.php > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_Antilles > http://www.britannica.com/nations/Netherlands-Antilles > SW-related, Bonaire will get the status of a "city" within the > Netherlands. > > Bernd Trutenau-LTU ___________________________________________________________________________________ Ennakkotilaa WRTH 2007 nyt: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------- DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/dx _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
