[OKDXA] Midway and Kure Islands Reinstated as DXCC entities

[Jeff Martin]

Per Bill Kennemer:
 Deleting an Entity and bringing it back to the DXCC List because a more
stringent review showed the error is not new. It was done with the Cayman
Islands deletion in 1960.  QST, June 1958, page 97 and QST, September 1960, page 90.

Is this the first time the ARRL has ever reversed a deletion?
