Newly listed awards "discovered" in 2010

FILE 1

As newly discovered awards are added to the K1BV Directory, I place them in this working file.  Usually all rules/conditions are OK, but this file may occasionally have incomplete data, until clarified by the sponsor. 
This file was started January 2, 2009.
At the end of the year, I move the data into the appropriate country file.
