== + DXCC NEWS: 1984 OPERATION TO COCOS ISLAND NOW APPROVED FOR DXCC
CREDIT

The February 1984 operation to TI9CCC (Cocos Island) has now been
approved for DXCC credit. In the past, radio amateurs who have
submitted this operation on a DXCC application had it rejected due to
an "incorrect date period." According to DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L,
the date issue has now been resolved: "If you had this operation
rejected, and your confirmation falls within February 15-28, 1984,
please send an e-mail so you can be placed on the
list for an update to your record."

It took 29 years to resolve this? There must be a story here. Anyone
know what it is?
