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.
