> On August 3, the ITU updated its Table of International Call Sign
> Series to reflect a call sign change for Niue. The island will now
> have the entire E6 prefix block. Niue -- an island approximately
> 1500 miles northeast of New Zealand -- is a self-governing island
> nation that has been in free association with New Zealand since
> 1974. Prior to the change, the island used ZK2. According to the CIA
> World Factbook, Niue is about 1.5 times the size of Washington, DC,
> and has a population of almost 1300 people.
