   REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN.  Co-leader of the ST0R operation Antonio,   
   EA5RM, reports, "As you may know, the distribution of ST0R QSL cards   
   has begun.  The Republic of South Sudan was recently added to the   
   DXCC entities list, so each QSO confirmed by our manager will be the   
   confirmation of a new one.  The DXCC Desk has expressed the concern   
   that they may be overwhelmed by thousands of applications to credit   
   the new entity.  Consequently, we have decided to make an exception,   
   and upload to the LOTW all the individual donor QSOs and OQRS ones,   
   by November 1st."
