*REMINDER: *Malyj Vysotskij expected to be deleted February 17, 2012.

    * *By Jari OH2BU*

The day of deletion has now been confirmed: Finnish and Russian 
ambassadors met January 17th and exchanged the documents signed by the 
presidents of both countries. The new agreement of the lease of Saimaa 
Channel will be in force one month from today – February 17th. As the 
new agreement does not include Malyj Vysotskij, the island will be 
deleted from the DXCC-list the day before, February 16th 2012.

This is, of course, subject to the decision of ARRL DXCC Committee.

It’s unlikely that any DXpedition will come on from the island before 
the deletion, although our Russian friends would have a possibility to 
do it.
