DXCC Notes (From June 1958 QST page 97)

In view of the recent Federation of British Territories in the Caribbean, and the desire to update the Countries List and bring it into line with the published criteria, the following changes to the ARRL Countries List are herewith announced. These changes will be effective as of June 1, 1958.

VP2 Anguilla
VP2 Antigua, Barbuda
VP2 British Virgin Islands
VP2 Dominica
VP2 Grenada & Dependencies
VP2 Monserrat
VP2 St. Kitts, Nevis
VP2 St. Lucia
VP2 St. Vincent & Dependencies

All contacts with stations in the Caribbean prior to June 1, 1958 will be credited on the basis of the ARRL Countries List in effect prior to June 1, 1958.

Contacts made with stations in what was previously listed as Leewards and Windwards will be credited on the following basis. If credit has already been given for a station in the Leewards, further credit cannot be given for that particular island. For example, if Leewards credit was obtained with VP2MY in Monserrat, no further credit can be claimed for Monserrat. A credit given for VP2LU on St. Lucia toward Windwards will count as St. Lucia and no further credit can be claimed for St. Lucia. On the other hand, a contact with VP2KM made on June 1, 1958, or after, can be claimed as credit for St. Kitts or a contact with VP2GC made on June 1, 1958, or after, can be claimed as credit for Grenada.

Contacts made with Caymans prior to June 1, 1958 will continue to be credited as separate from Jamaica. Contacts made with Caymans June 1, 1958 and later will count the same as Jamaica.

DO NOT submit confirmations for these changes before August 1, 1958. Confirmations received for credit with respect to these changes before August 1, 1958 will be returned without credit.
