Why have BONAIRE/CURACAO NETH. ANTILLE and ST. MAARTEN/SABA/ST. EUST not been removed.
ST. EUSTATIUS AND SABA as well as ST. MAARTEN is also listed. The same for BONAIRE and CURACAO I shouldn't be showing credit for both old and new countries. In one standing list I am listed for 100 countries but for awards it is 98 countries Tim N3JON N3JON Timothy Hickman |

Timothy,
Just my opinion, but, why should those entities be removed? They are physically still there (not swallowed up by the sea), you worked them, why not validate that your eQSLs are still good. If someone says DX entities are changing, ok. But you can't say your eQSLs don't count any more. I have QSL cards from both East and West Germany, Yugoslavia, Czeckoslovakia as well as some of the SSRs of the old Soviet Union. Just because political issues change, that won't devalidate those QSLs in my eyes. eQSL and LOTW may change the requirements for an award, but I think a confirming eQSL is still a confirmation and should be counted. 73 Andy - n1ork N1ORK Orest 'Andy' Zajac |

Andy,
I agree with you a contact is a contact but the eQSL page says I qualify for an award which I believe if I submitted to them or CQ I would be told I did not qualify. They should be listed as deleted or at least not count in the total for an award. Tim N3JON Timothy Hickman |

Tim,
I think you have to have Bronze membership or above to participate in the eQSL eAwards. The minimum donation is $5. 73 Andy - n1ork N1ORK Orest 'Andy' Zajac |

Andy,
No stuff I know one has to be a Bronze or above member to get a eQSL award and I have been in the past. That has nothing to do with my point. The CQ award and I believe the eQSL award require 100 current countries for DXCC. For SSB I am listed as having 100 countries but I do not have 100 countries that qualify for a SSB DXCC award I have 98. on the LoTW web page deleted countries are removed from the count. This is no big deal to me since I have several DXCC awards but leaving them in the count could disapoint someone going for their first DXCC. Tim N3JON Timothy Hickman |
