    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.
