Club Log support staffed by volunteers

Pratas Island, aka Dongsha or Tung Sha Dao,  was added to the DXCC countries list In December 1995. QSOs count for Pratas from 1994-01-01. 

The following announcement was made by ARRL in the ARRL DXCC News Release (ARLD065) of 22 December 1995::

 :

"The ARRL DX Advisory Committee (DXAC) has voted 12 to 4, and the Awards Committee, 

has voted unanimously to add Pratas Island, BV9P, for contacts made 1 January

1994 and after. This is based on DXCC Rules Section II, Point 2(a) (Separation by

Water). Pratas Island, located in the South China Sea, is administered by Taiwan.

QSL cards will be received by the DXCC Desk starting April 1, 1996. Cards received

before that date will be returned without action.

Because of QSLing irregularities, it will he necessary for anyone who has a picture card

from the January or March 1994 operation to obtain a replacement card from QSL

manager KU9C. (The picture cards are not acceptable for DXCC credit.)"
