[WVDXA] contry total for honor roll?

[Clark L. Stewart]

Greg,

      Congratulations on working 9V1RA and, more importantly, Number 
325!  That's a whale of a lot of countries!

      Here is the description of what it takes to make the "Honor Roll" 
from the ARRL's DXCC FAQ:

>There are two Honor Roll categories. The Honor Roll is achieved by working 
>a number of entities equal to the top ten of the overall current country 
>count. For example, if there are 336 current entities on the DXCC list, 
>the number needed for Honor Roll is 327. Deleted entities do not count 
>towards the Honor Roll. There is no certificate for the Honor Roll. An 
>Honor Roll sticker is provided for the mode for which Honor Roll was 
>achieved, Mixed, Phone, CW and/or RTTY only. A plaque is available for the 
>DXCC Honor Roll and #1 Honor Roll.

      Currently there are 338 countries on the list including FJ - Saint 
Barthelemy.  Here is a statement that is on the ARRL's DXCC web page:

"There are 338 current entities on the DXCC list, with 329 current required 
for the DXCC Honor Roll. There are 58 deleted entities."

      So, looks like you have four more to work (and get QSL's from) to 
make it onto the list.  Good luck, my friend.  With the new sunspot cycle 
beginning, propagation should start to improve and make your job a little 
easier.


Clark, W8TN
