DXCC ACCREDITATION CRITERIA CHANGE ---> The following restriction has been
approved by the Programs and Services Committee, and added to the DXCC
Accreditation Criteria, Section III:
"The presentation in any public forum of logs or other representations of
station operation showing details of station activity or other information
from which all essential QSO elements (time, date, band, mode and callsign)
for individual contacts can be derived creates a question as to the integrity
of the claimed QSOs with that station during the period encompassed by the
log. Presentation of such information in any public forum by the station
operator, operators or associated parties is not allowed and may be
considered sufficient reason to deny ARRL award credit for contacts with any
station for which such presentations have been made. Persistent violation of
this provision may result in disqualification from the DXCC program".
