It would also be interesting to find out how the CQ country list will be
effected by this ? They use a separate country list from the ARRL for the
CQWW DX contest.
W4TV has an error in his comments - " Since the distance between islands
is less than 800 km, the entire group should become a single "Island Group"
until the various islands are added to the
Department of State list."
This is false - Bonaire is slightly more than 800 km from Saba and St.
Eustatius so it meets the distance requirement to be a separate county from
those two islands.

George,
The odds are very good that Bonaire will become a new country on the ARRL
DX country list because beginning 10-10-10 it meets all the criteria for a
new country on the DXCC list . Read this and you will understand why -

Jeff,
Am I to infer from your email that Bonaire will become a new DXCC Entity? I
have searched through the two references that you have given, but do not
find any reference to that.
What am I missing?
