The Worked All Europe (WAE) award committee of the Deutsche Amateur Radio Club
(DARC) has voted to add Kosova (Kosovo) to the WAE country list. The CQ World Wide DX Contests and the CQ DX Marathon both use a combination of the DXCC and WAE lists as the basis for their country lists.Therefore, Kosova will now be considered a separate entity for both the CQ DX Marathon (effective February 17, 2008) and for the CQ WW DX Contests, beginning with the CQWW RTTY DX Contest on September 27-28,2008.

CQ previously announced that it was accepting Kosova as a separate entity for award credit, as of February 17, 2008.
