[GCARC] KINGMAN REEF KH5-K deleted

DXCC Deletion of Kingman Reef 

 

The ARRL Awards Committee has voted to delete Kingman Reef (KH5) from the 
DXCC List, effective 29 March, 2016.  Kingman Reef will be added to 
the Deleted Entities List on 29 March, 2016.  The total number of 
entities on the List will drop from 340 to 339. 

 

The deletion process is described in DXCC Rules Section II DXCC List 
Criteria, Part 5(a) Deletion Criteria: “An entity may be deleted from the List 
if it no longer satisfies the criteria under which it was 
added.  However, if the entity continues to meet one or more currently 
existing rules, it will remain on the List.” 

 

With respect to the previous paragraph’s text, Kingman Reef’s original 
addition by virtue of separate administration has changed (separate 
administration by the U.S. Navy has been removed), and the reef does not meet 
any current criteria to remain on the list.  The U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service administers Kingman Reef and Palmyra Island.  The 
reef is too close to Palmyra Island to count as a separate 
entity.  The reef is now considered part of the Palmyra/Jarvis DXCC 
entity. 

 

DXCC members who have affirmed credit with Kingman Reef will see their 
current entity totals drop by one on their DXCC awards -- including on the bands 
and modes where Kingman Reef credit is given. They will also see their DXCC 
Challenge totals drop commensurately.  Honor Roll status will now be 
attainable after confirming 330 entities on the DXCC List.

73, Dave, NN1N
