    Recent Developments

    Mid-2010 has seen several milestones. After a drought of almost nine years, suddenly there were two applications from South Africa for the Five Band DXCC. This award is a real achievement, requiring confirmed contacts with at least 100 DXCC entities on each of the five main HF bands. ZS6BQI applied in March, soon afterwards changing his callsign to ZS6X. In May, ZS2DL applied, making him the first ZS2 and only the 11th ZS to complete this milestone. Both applicants have endorsements for the WARC-79 bands (10, 18 and 25 MHz), giving them the right to claim 8BDXCC. Previously, only three other ZS stations had laid claim to this honour (ZS5LB, ZS6EZ and ZS6WB). Both Art and Don also entered the DXCC Challenge standings with band-country scores of over 1000. ZS2DL applied for single-band DXCC on several bands, finally becoming the third 25 MHz DXCC holder in South Africa and ensuring that every band now finally has a Top Three. Only the Satellite Top Three remains incomplete, with ZS2ACP being the sole entry. With the absence of any high-altitude transponders in the offing, he is likely to remain alone for some time yet.

    ZS2 appears to be the place where things are happening these days. Apart from ZS2DL, ZS2EZ and ZS2Y have also been very active, with the latter applying for several single-band DXCCs in the past year or so. Clearly, a little competition never hurts! The situation is somewhat reminiscent of the three-way chase between ZS5LB, ZS5BK and ZS5MY in the Eighties. That chase produced three of the first four 5BDXCC certificates in South Africa, and more than 10 years passed before three ZS6 stations finally appeared on that list. Apart from band-country scores, these ZS2 stations have also racked up respectable Digital scores, with both ZS2DL and ZS2EZ appearing in the Top Three on that mode.

    Another major milestone is ZS4TX's score of 301 on 7 MHz. Bernie becomes the first South African to hit 300 on that band, and only the second on any band. Most DXers consider 7 MHz to be a "low band", a fact that makes Bernie's achievement even more impressive.

    Finally, October 2010 saw another "first" in the DXCC programme: The simultaneous birth of four new DXCC entities! On 2010-10-10, the two countries representing the Netherlands Antilles (PJ8 and PJ9) were deleted when all the islands gained more autonomy from the Netherlands. Four new DXCC countries were created: PJ2 Curacao; PJ4 Bonaire; PJ5/6 St.Eustasius/Saba and PJ7 St. Maarten. As can be imagined, there was a flurry of activity, with major multi-operator DXpeditions being available around the clock from each of these locations. The bands were divided into segments by mutual consent, to ensure that the four sudden Most Wanted countries did not create mutual interference. Old timers suddenly had to rebuild stations and figure out which buttons to press on their radios to make it happen. Any Old Timers who could not figure it out will slide down the DXCC Honour Roll by four slots.

    While the deletion of PJ8 and PJ9 was effective immediately, DXCC credits for the four new countries will only be granted starting 2011-01-01. Look for some major rearrangements on the Honour Roll!

    Note: The columns above are self-explanatory, except perhaps for "Bands". The basic 5BDXCC is issued for DXCC on each of five bands (3,5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz). Band endorsements can be added for additional bands. If a station's score is more than 5, the additional bands completed are listed in brackets, with the figures in MHz. The only available endorsements are 1,8, 10, 18, 25, 50 and 144 MHz. No ZS has ever obtained the 144 MHz endorsement. Those in the know regard the 10, 18 and 25 MHz band endorsements as just a formality, but both 1,8 and 50 MHz are much harder than any of the five basic bands.

    Ranking of Leading South African Stations (Active)

    Note: In principle, there should be a Top Three in each category. However, Satellite has less than three listed members, while the Mixed and Phone DXCCs have enough participation to warrant a Top Ten. The Top Ten on Mixed and Phone contains only stations still listed as active members in the ARRL list. A separate table with the all-time high scores for these two DXCCs is included in the following section. For all the other awards, all callsigns shown are listed as active in the ARRL lists.

    Ranking of All-Time High South African Scores

    Note: The table above contains only stations currently listed in the ARRL's official list. The table below contains the all-time high scores. Several of the members were licenced just after WW-II, and worked dozens of countries that were subsequently deleted. Their scores are unattainable to someone entering the race now, as those countries are no longer available to be worked. However, to reflect the persistent achievement by old timers over many decades, the table below shows the all-time high achievements in each category.

    Note: The term "inactive" means that the station is no longer listed by ARRL. The reason is generally that no cards have been submitted since the introduction of the computer system in the Nineties. In some cases, stations were removed when the operators died. As of 2010, only ZS6BBP is still alive while being listed as inactive.
