10 DXCC Entities are North Korea, Yemen, Navassa Island, Glorioso Islands,
Bouvet Island, Marion Island, Desecheo Island, Scarborough Reef, Crozet and
Heard Island.
Give a look to the 100 Most Wanted listing, which also shows the results of
the 2006 survey for comparison, at http://www.dxpub.com/dx_news.html. The
complete breakdown by continent is available in the January/February 2008
issue of "The DX Magazine"; a breakdown by mode will be published in the

QSL BA4DW ---> The current mailing address is: Yujian David Zhou, 703-5-241
XinGuang Road, Shanghai, 200080, China. The entry on qrz.com was updated in
due course, but cards are still arriving to David's old P.O. Box, which is no
longer in use. Please note that the post office will stop forwarding them at
the end of January. [TNX BA4DW]
QSL FJ/OH2AM ---> The QSL cards were expected to arrive from the printers on
15 January and direct requests will be processed immediately.
"We plan to make out all QSLs received during January as soon as possible but
no later than the end of February", Jarmo, OH2BN says. "By the 20th of
February we will release a status report to give an indication of the rate at
which QSL requests are being answered".
The log will be uploaded to LoTW later this year ("it can only be facilitated
by the ARRL around May 2008 due to LoTW technicalities"). Statistics and
pictures can be found at http://www.kolumbus.fi/oh2bn/barts.htm
The 2007 Honor Roll listings will not be affected by the QSLling status of
FJ/OH2AM: "because of the addition of Saint Barthelemy to the DXCC List",
Bill Moore, NC1L said on 19 December, the listings will be prepared "based
upon applications postmarked no later than December 31, 2007".
QSL VIA MM5PSL ---> Peter, MM5PSL (Shetland Islands, EU-012) says that
"several hundred unaswered QSL cards were inadvertently mixed up with
thousands of answered cards" and now he "finds it impossible distinguish
which are which". Anyone who has not received a bureau card for MM5PSL or
GB2ELH (Eshaness Lighthouse) between 2001 and 2006, please send Peter an
e-mail (mm5psl-@tiscali.co.uk or peter.ley08@btinternet.com) with log
