The International Call Sign Series E5A-E5Z, in accordance with the provisions of No. 19.33 of the Radio Regulations, has been provisionally allocated to New Zealand for exclusive use by the Cook Islands (formerly ZK1)." Two calls which will be active on June 1 and later, E51CG on June 1st and later, E51USA.
Don't forget to add the prefix E5 to DXBAse by going to Tools>Database Access>CountryPrefixes. Choose Alias Map, Right Click in the 'Map PRS' column and select "go to last record". Enter 'E5' (without quotes of course) into the Map PRX field, tab to Pri PRX column and ZK Now here's the important part. Either cursor to a lower empty field or hit enter to save this new entry. Only one problem...you can't assign E5 to both North and South Cooks. as they are two separate entities at the moment and will probably stay so. So...I suggest you assign E51 to South (more commonly heard) and E52 to North Cooks. You may find you already have E5 assigned from a previously temporary assignment. This new allocation will probably be exclusive and permanganate if the usual steps in the process are followed. ----------------------------------------------------- Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together. ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland webcams at http://24.14.49.4:8080 weather at http://hhweather.webhop.org
