MALYJ VYSOTSKIJ DELETED ---> The ARRL announced on 23 February that Malyj
Vysotskij Island has been deleted from the DXCC Entity List. "According to
the Finnish Ministry of Transportation and Communication, the Saimaa Canal
Treaty between Finland and Russia has been finalized by relevant Finnish
and Russian authorities through ratification. The Treaty has entered into
effect with a date of 17 February 2012.
Malyj Vysotskij Island (MVI), R1M, is no longer included in the Treaty.
Thus, MVI will be deleted from the DXCC list as of 17 February 17 and added
to the Deleted Entities List.
Administratively at HQ, we will not make the necessary changes to the DXCC
system until after the final data processing for 2011 is complete - this
includes the tables shown in Logbook of The World.
DXCC members will see their current entity totals drop by one on their
Mixed awards, and on the bands and modes where MVI credit is given. They
will also see their DXCC Challenge totals drop commensurately".
