In follow up to the January 21, 2008 DXCC blog entry regarding St Barthelemy, DXCC has completed processing 2007 applications and St Barthelemy has now been added to the DXCC computer system, and, LogBook of The World.

This moves the #1 Honor Roll position to 338 current entities making entry level Honor Roll 329.

While DXCC has completed 2007 applications there are a number of application returns still being mailed so it may be another 2-3 weeks before applicants receive their 2007 return.

Lastly, Logbook of The World is now accepting certificate requests for St Barthelemy, and once those logs are submitted the matches should occur and applicants can claim DXCC credit.

For programmers who use the DXCC entity numbering system, the entity code for St Barthelemy is 516.
