[Dx4win] Midway and Kure Islands Reinstated as DXCC Entities

[Art - W6KY]

KD7P used to go there to count beaks (1990-1992).
Worked him all bands/modes then. Big Loran station
antenna still up then I believe...
Then DXpeditions in 1997 and 2005. Nothing since.
It is off limits as a GREEN island and not maintained.
It is #10 on the top wanted DX list. Time for another
DXpedition, with the permission of Forestry and
Wildlife. ???
Midway, not so easy as tourism has been suspended.
Probably about as hard to do as Kuri. #20 on the
most wanted...

Now we need somebody to go there, so we can work them and put them into the log 😊

The next DX4WIN country file will have those two entities re-instated.
Exactly when it gets released depends on my busy schedule.  I'll do the best I can.

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.
