New DXCC-Entities to come
    As found on the homepage of EUDXF, President of EUDXF Hans, PB2T, visited ARRL HQ in
    Newington July 24th.There was discussion about the DXCC status of Netherland's Antilles
    after December 15th, 2008. It looks like four new entities for Curacao, Sint Maarten,
    Saba, Sint Eustatius and Bonaire for future DXCC.(DJ5AV: I remember there should be no
    further Deleted Entities added to the existing ARRL-DXCC list - compare DXCC Rules,
    Removal Criteria.)
    Political Background: The association 'Netherland's Antilles' will finish with
   'Kingdom's Day', December 15th, 2008.Until late 2008 status of a new system will be set up.
    Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius voted for closer connection with the Netherlands,
    while Curacao and Sint Maarten want an autonomous status like Aruba.

HamRadioForum.net launches
    hamradioforum.net - the guys who brought you hamtests.co.uk now bring you a new venture
    - a web-based forum for all aspects of Amateur Radio.
    The site is basic in look, but we will look for feedback from users on how this site
    should develop and whilst the forums are quiet with posts at the moment, we hope this
    will change over the coming months.
