DXCC NEW ENTITIES? ---> On  1 April 1998  a petition has  been filed by  Paul
Granger, F6EXV on behalf of the  Clipperton DX Club for  the addition of  two
new entities to the DXCC list,  namely the Marquesas Islands and the  Austral
Islands. "Under the new definitions of what constitutes a 'political entity',
namely IARU membership", F6EXV states, "French Polynesia is clearly a  'point
1 country'. Furthermore, any island of  the Marquesas group is situated  more
than 350 km away from any other island  of the parent country. Any island  of
the Australs is situated more than 350 km  away from any other island of  the
parent country, and more than 800 km away from any island of the  Marquesas".
The submission asks for addition to the list as of 2 June 1983, date when the
CORA, representing French Polynesia, joined  the International Amateur  Radio
Union (IARU). <TNX CE3/F6EXV>
