DXAC Vote Results
 
The ARRL DX Advisory Committee, DXAC, has voted 14 to 2 against a
petition to add the Austral Islands and the Marquesas Islands to the
DXCC Countries List.  Those voting against shared the feeling that
French Polynesia is not a Point 1 DXCC country, and for that reason
these two island groups do not qualify as separate countries under
the current DXCC rules.
 
The DXAC voted 13 to 1 against adding the Balleny Islands to the
DXCC Countries List.  Most of those voting against this proposal
felt that the Balleny Islands are a part of Antarctica.
 
Finally, the DXAC voted 14 to 2 against recommending establishment
of a DXCC award for contacts made while operating mobile.  Many
comments stated the impossibility of verifying that contacts were
indeed made while operating mobile.  It was also noted that all DXCC
awards today are based on either mode or band.
