[Dx-qsl] Prefix Change

[Murray Green (K3BEQ)]

On August 3, the ITU updated its Table of International Call Sign Series 
<http://www.itu.int/online/mms/glad/cga_callsign.sh?lng=E> to reflect a 
call sign change for Niue. The island will now have the entire E6 prefix 
block. Niue -- an island located approximately 1700 miles northeast of 
New Zealand -- is a self-governing island nation that has been in free 
association with New Zealand since 1974. Prior to the change, the island 
used ZK2. According to the /CIA World Factbook 
<https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ne.html>/, 
Niue is about 1.5 times the size of Washington, DC, and has a population 
of almost 1300 people.
