The KD6 prefix was used for Midway Island up to 1947. From mid-1947, the KM6 prefix was used for Midway Island, with WM6 for novice stations. These prefixes continued to be used until the US callsign revision of 1978-03-24, from which date the prefix became KH4, with AH4, NH4 & WH4 also being used. A small number of existing KM6 calls were used for a while after the prefix change to KH4, see below.
See Ranking in "Most Wanted" league.
Midway Island is a whitelisted DXCC entity, currently for QSOs on or after 1978-03-24. The following table lists stations known to have been QRV from Midway Island Island, and which are thought to be good for DXCC credit.
