These notes were originally published with the list of South African stations extracted from the list described above. During 2012, a single integrated South African DXCC annual list extract and a South African DXCC Honour Roll extract were published. Because these lists do not have room for comments, and because some of the comments provide useful context, the comments have been extracted into this separate file.
This list was extracted from the DXCC Honour Roll as it stood on 2011-12-22.
DXCC Honour Roll membership is restricted to those DXCC members that need less than ten DXCC entities credited. Totals do not include credit for deleted countries. For this list, there were 341 countries, and at least 332 current credits were needed to make it onto the Honour Roll.
October 2010 saw a first in the history of DXCC. On 2010-10-10, two DXCC entities were deleted and four new ones were created. All four were active from the first day, with major DXpeditions active from each of them. The old Netherlands Antilles countries (PJ8 and PJ9) were deleted, and replaced by four new countries (PJ2 Curacao, PJ4 Bonaire, PJ5/6 Sint Eustatius/Saba and PJ7 Sint Maarten). Inactive Honour Roll members had to build antennas, figure out their new fancy radios and get on the air, just to avoid being dumped from the 2011 list.
Although contacts made from 2010-10-10 count for the new entities, they were only added to the DXCC list in 2011. South Sudan was added in August 2011.
This list shows the situation after the PJ and ST0 shakeup. All needed totals suddenly increased by five. ZS4TX, ZS6EZ, ZS6KR and ZS6P have submitted their PJ and ST0 confirmations, but ZS5NK still has to do so. ZS5NK is expected to return to -1 on Mixed and Phone once he submits the necessary confirmations. ZS6WB will return to -9 on Mixed once the paperwork is completed. ZS1FJ is planning to spend some time in South Africa before the end of 2011 to return to the Honour Roll.
Four South Africans have reached the Top of the HR in the past.
