Doesn't Micronesia have the Marshall Islands? Kwajelein has had hams
for decades. It's part of the US Pacific missle range.


Federated States of Micronesia and Republic of the Marshall Islands are
two different countries. Ham radio prefix V6 for Micronesia, V7 for
Marshalls. (they were different countries, at least for ham purposes,
before independence as well; KC6 for Micronesia, KX6 for the Marshalls)
