Hi All:
0A 
 

As you may have already discovered there are a large number of errors in the Honor Roll list that was published in August QST. 

 

An apparent bug in the report generator caused many to be listed with numbers prior to what they achieved in 2007, and, a few were not listed at all. And, many were properly listed so there is no discernable pattern here.  

 

Since the problem is more widespread that we first thought publishing a correction in QST later this year will not be possible.

& nbsp;

We have a revised report and we are currently looking at adding it to the 2007 DXCC yearbook. The yearbook was delayed as we went from 32 pages to 40 pages and we are now hoping to get it into 44 pages but this is subject to change. Once we determine how/where it will be published I will post a note to the blog, so please keep posted to this page.

 

If you receive questions on this please refer them to the DXCC blog page as I have posted a memo there on this issue. I have a too many e-mails to be able to quickly respond to everyone.

 

Note…The numbers in DXCC are fine. It is just the way the report generator extracted data from DXCC th
at is the issue here.

 

We regret any inconvenience caused by this, but with nearly 8,000 lines of data in the raw report it is not possible to select and review each and every account.
