 coming Thursday

 ARLD013 DXCC Deletion of Kingman Reef
 
 The ARRL Awards Committee has voted to delete Kingman Reef
 (KH5K)
 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.
