>>> NEW DXCC ENTITY: THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN <<<
On 14 July the UN General Assembly admitted the Republic of South Sudan as
the 193rd member of the United Nations.
Consequently, South Sudan has been added to the DXCC List as a new Entity
(the 341st on the "current" list, thus moving the Honor Roll threshold
to 332), by way of Section II, 1(a) of the DXCC Rules. The DXCC entity code
assigned to Republic of South Sudan is 521. This is a totally new Entity for
all DXers (i.e. the deleted Entity of Southern Sudan, ST0 has NOT been
reinstated, as per DXCC Rules), and the DXCC Desk will begin immediately
accepting QSOs for it, with a start date of July 14, 2011.
"The deadline for the Honor Roll and annual listings is December 31, so you
must submit the new entity to DXCC by then in order to retain your Honor
Roll status," Bill Moore, NC1L explained. "For Logbook of The World (LoTW),
you may submit all your QSOs with the Republic of South Sudan stations
anytime. There is no need to hold them out of your log or do anything
differently from what you already have been doing. You do not need to
assign country names or identifiers. After we issue certificates to the
Republic of South Sudan license holders, LoTW will make matches and
assign the correct entities automatically."
The Republic of South Sudan is also the newest addition to the CQ DX Award
Countries List (it is #342, as CQ counts Kosova). Verifications confirming
contacts after July 14, 2011 are acceptable for credit. No award credit is
available for southern Sudan contacts made during the 1980s and 90s. The
new addition will be reflected in CQ DX Honor Roll totals to be compiled
near the end of September. South Sudan will count as a country (entity)
multiplier for the CQ DX Marathon, the CQ World Wide DX Contest and any
other CQ contests that use country multipliers.
As of 14 July, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has not
announced a prefix block for the Republic of South Sudan.

SOUTH SUDAN ---> In their latest press release (14 July) the DX Friends and
The Intrepid-DX Group (www.dxfriends.com/SouthernSudan2011/) state they
"continue to move forward with their plans to activate this new entity with
a multi-national DXpedition team. With our visas in hand, the teams will
soon be making their way towards Africa and ultimately to Juba, the new
capital of this new nation. We will have five active stations, operating 24
hrs a day.
We will be in regular contact with our US, EU and JA Pilot Stations and we
will pay close attention to propagation reports from them. We ask that you
please make contact with the pilot stations only during the DXpedition and
to please refrain from contacting the team members directly via email. We
will announce our call sign once we are in Juba and ready to become active".
On 15 July MM0NDX (EU Pilot for the DXpedition) released the following
schedule:
"The Intrepid DX Group is meeting the DX Friends in Cairo on July 21st. On
July 22nd, they all fly from Cairo to Juba, South Sudan. On July 23rd, they
will meet with the Ministry of Communications to amend licenses to the new
ITU prefix. They expect to be active later on July 23rd, or July 24th until
shut down on August 10th, 2011".
