    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.
