DXAC vote results
 
By unanimous vote, the ARRL DXAC (DX Advisory Committee) passed a
recommendation to delete Walvis Bay (ZS9) and Penguin Islands
(ZS0,1).  The DXAC decided that these entities no longer meet the
DXCC criteria following their turnover to Namibia by South Africa.
This recommendation has been sent to the Awards Committee along with
a suggested effective date of March 1, 1994.
 
In another ballot, the DXAC voted down a proposal to add additional
single band awards to the DXCC program.  (There were 13 no and 2 yes
votes with 1 abstain.)
 
The committee also voted down a proposal to add a 10-Meter DXCC
Honor Roll by a 15 to 1 margin.  Committee members expressed support
for the mode-specific Honor Rolls that now exist (Mixed, Phone, CW 
RTTY).
