VP6 - Kan, JA1BK and Jacky, F2CW/ZL3CW were active as VP6BK and VP6CW
from Pitcairn (OC-044) last weekend. It is worth visiting Kan's web
pages (http://www.iijnet.or.jp/JA1BK/index2.html) and reading what
he wrote on 7 March, as it seems he has found a potential new
Entity for the DXCC programme. Kan does not give the name, but it
should be Ducie Island (OC-182). "Pitcairn will apply for
membership into the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU)", The
Daily DX reports. "If Pitcairn were to become a Geopolitical DXCC
Entity it looks as if Ducie would clearly make the distance, thus
becoming a new one. This C shaped island is 540 kilometers east of
Pitcairn, but more importantly it is approximately 377 kilometers
east of Henderson Island, which is the closest island. It will take
a minimum of 6 months to become a member of the IARU and possibly
as long as 12 months".
