Hi All

Below from 425DX News

G      - From 1 January to 31 December 2016 the  prefixes  GK,  MK, and  2K
         will indicate a station operating from Cornwall and  the Isles  of
         Scilly. The Regional Secondary Locator "K" stands for Kernow,  
i.e.
         Cornwall in Cornish language, and has been  made  available for  a
         period of up to  one  year  on  a  temporary  and  optional basis.
         Information on "The Kernow Award", offered by  the  Poldhu Amateur
         Radio Club, at http://gb2gm.org/index.php/the-kernow-award.

In my Dxbase
2K maps to GJ - WRONG
GK maps to G OK
MK is not mapped at all!

GK0JFK was used once before in the quite distant past (early 80s) from 
the JFK Memorial at Runnymede, technically a small piece of land which 
is US territory near London but doesn't count as such for DXCC!

Happy Christmas to everyone
