Note 1 - Peter 1 was approved for DXCC country status in 1983, but was not
added to the list until its first operation in January 1987.
Note 2 - With regard to Western Sahara, this action was actually a reversal
of the deletion of Rio de Oro which took place in 1978.
Note 3 - Eritrea is a reinstatement of a country that was deleted as of No-
vember 15, 1962. QSOs for ET2 contacts prior to this date will be removed
from the deleted list and credited as a current country. QSL cards may be
submitted for credit January 1, 1994. This action was by the ARRL Awards Com-
mittee on Sept. 29, 1993.
Note 4 - The first accredited operation from Scarborough Reef took place in
April 1995. The 1994 DXpedition did not qualify as a land-based operation.
There are now 329 countries on the active DXCC list and 57 deleted countries.
With the deletion of Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands as of March 1, 1994,
it will take 320 countries on the active list to qualify for any Honor Roll.
