p> Hi Steve!

p> Thanks for putting this up.

p> Please find clarifications for HOME AREA and DX QTH.


p> HOME AREA          - a selection area of applicant permanent residence

p> HOME AREA (for US) - a selection area (within mentioned borthers) of
p> applicant permanent residence

p> DX QTH             - a QTH ouside of your selection HOME AREA

p> When the applicant has permanent residence in two or more areas, he
