- Thanks to Steve, W9NUF; the Northern Illinois DX Association and
- Scott, VE1QD for the items in this week's bulletin.
-
- ERITREA. On September 29, the ARRL Awards Committee voted
- unanimously to accept a recommendation of the ARRL DX Advisory
- Committee (DXAC) to reinstate Eritrea (E3) as a DXCC country. The
- Awards Committee in a 4 to 3 vote made reinstatement effective May
- 24, 1991.
-
- The DXCC Desk will accept QSL cards for Eritrea starting January 1,
- 1994. QSL cards received at the DXCC Desk before January 1 will be
- returned without action.
-
- Those who have credit for the pre 1963 Eritrea (ET2) need not
- resubmit cards.
-
- Eritrea was deleted from the DXCC Countries List in November 1962
- after it was annexed by Ethiopia. Liberation came on May 24, 1991
- when forces of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) gained
- control of the country. The EPLF, now known as the Provisional
- Government of Eritrea (PGE), chose not to make an international
- declaration of independence at that time. The formal declaration
- came in 1993 following a PGE-administered national referendum. The
- Awards Committee felt that sufficient evidence of sovereignty
- existed to justify the 1991 reinstatement date.
-
- IRAN. An operation is expected to begin today and run through
