>>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 February 17, 2012.
>>Malyj Vysotskij Island (MVI), R1M, is no longer included in the Treaty.
>Thus, MVI will be deleted from the DXCC list as of February 17, 2012,
>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.
