DXCC KH4 & KH7K (farce?)

On 31 March 2017, ARRL announced the surprise deletion of Midway Island KH4 and Kure Island KH7K from the DXCC list, which many took as an April Fools joke - it was not, they definitely got deleted.

I promptly made these changes in DXCC database for the last update during April....perhaps some of you never noticed or for that matter cared.

Well, what da ya know... ARRL just announced, six weeks later, that these entities were re-instated, just great.

I won't go into the reasons for these changes and un-changes as you can find that out if you are interested.

I will re-instate these entities in a new Winlog32 release in a couple of days time.

Well done ARRL and thanks for nothing.

The latest file (#5) has the changes, so we're back up to 339.
