[br]DXCC Political Entities criteria 1c states: �The Entity contains a permanent population, is administered by a local government, and is located at least 800 km from its parent.  To satisfy the "permanent population" and "administered by a local government" criteria of this sub-section, an Entity must be listed on either (a) the U.S. Department of State's list of [black][i][b]"Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty" [/b][/i][/black]as having a local "Administrative Center," or (b) the United Nations list of "Non-Self-Governing Territories."  St. Bart�s clearly meets that criteria and should be added to the DXCC list as a new counter.

Depending on conditions, operator�s schedules and how things go the operation could continue even into the Christmas holidays
