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. 14.12.2007- is realy funny date!!!
