    Midway and Kure Islands Reinstated as DXCC Entities

05/11/2017

On March 31, 2017, the DXCC desk announced the deletion of Midway Island 
and Kure Island from the DXCC entities list. The stated reason
for this action was because of changes in the administration
resulting from changes in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument,
formerly known as the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National
Monument, of which the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and the
Battle of Midway National Memorial, the Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary
at Kure Atoll, and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands State Marine
Refuge, of which they are all included.

After further review it has been found that the deletion of these two
entities is not supported by the changes that were made to the relevant
administrations. Therefore, the deletions from the DXCC list should not
have occurred and the two entities, Midway Island KH4 and Kure Island
KH7K, will return to the DXCC list as separate entities.
