Those of you who are DXers or who occasionally hear from DXers are probably aware that the question of accreditation of the April 2000 operation of 7O1YGF has been pending for a VERY long time while additional information was being sought. The following announcement is coming from the DXCC Desk and will make lots of DXers happy. Dave K1ZZ (don't need it) The following operation has been approved for DXCC: 7O1YGF - Yemen Operation from August 16, 2000 through August 26, 2000 After reviewing recently-received information regarding the 7O1YGF operation, and after additional dialogue with a leader of the DXpedition, the DXCC desk has approved this operation. Considering the length of time that has passed since this operation, we ask that DXCC participants who would like to claim credit for 7O1YGF follow the options below: * Send the 7O1YGF card ONLY to DXCC with a SASE, or return postage if outside the US; DXCC will process the card and applicants will not be charged a submission fee. 7O1YGF cards included with other cards will be handled as part of a normal submission. * Bring the card to a DXCC Card Checker. The card checker will forward the confirmation to the DXCC desk for processing. Again, there will be no submission fee if this is a single-card submission. You must fill out an application form, however. In all other cases applicants can include their QSL card with their next submission, and it will be handled normally. We will work with the 7O1YGF team to use Logbook of the World if possible. Remember, the cutoff date for the 2009 DXCC Annual listing and Honor Roll list is December 31, 2009. We encourage applicants to handle this sooner rather than wait until the last minute. 73 es DX!
