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
