The ARRL is no longer publishing annual DXCC Honour Roll listings in QST. Instead, there is now a daily update of the current list on the Web.

This list was extracted from the DXCC Honour Roll as it stood on 2010-12-31.

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 338 countries, and at least 329 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 10-10 count for the new entities, they will only be added to the DXCC list in 2011. From then on, there will be 340 DXCC entities, with at least 331 being needed for Honour Roll status.

This list shows the situation before the PJ shakeup. Expect major changes in early 2011, when the effect of the four new countries makes itself felt. ZL8X provided many South African DXers with a new one in November and December 2010, which is likely to make another impact early next year.
