What entities have not been activated (that counted for DXCC) in the past 10 years?
Here are some that I can think of (correct me if I am wrong):
Heard
Kingman
Amsterdam
Glorioso
Cambell and Auckland (?)
Two that were very limited activations:
Bouvet
Marion

Good topic...
Campbell Isl. was activated in 2005 (ZL9CI). Looking forward to Glorioso, but also wonder if Juan de Nova/Europa and Tromelin have been activated in that time frame. Pratis and St. Peter Paul Rocks also come to mind.
Has anyone worked these in the last nine years?

St. Pete/St. Paul is one for sure. I could sure use that one! Does anyone know if Macquarie Island has had any activity in recent years??? Not that it's a problem over here. Snagged that one way back in '87!!!

Maquarie:
VK0MM: 2000
VK0MT: 2005
Campbell:
ZL9CI: 1999
ZL9BSJ/p: 2006
Kingman:
K5K: 2000
Pratus
BQ9P: 2001
Only ones I come up with are 7O, FT*G, KP1, VK0/H, and probably FT*Z -- I supposed it's possible a French scientist or someone like that made a QSO or two from Amsterday but I can't think of any decent activity from there in some time.

Eritrea is getting close (E30NA in mid-2001), and I think Navassa hasn't been active this millennium either. Marion (ZS8) is probably in that range too, if you don't count the small handful of Q's that Petrus made from there last year.

Two more for the list, I think. Malpelo and Myanmar.

Myanmar - XZ7A in 2003. You are right about Malpelo - that's been over 9 years . . .

Didn't know about Myanmar. Wish I had back then! I have 21 left to work for HR#1 status. Other than the ultra-rare P5 and 7O one-two punch, I'm wondering which of the remaining "workable" entities will be the last one needed? I suspect it will be two solar cycles before all the ones I need are activated in any meaningful way. Hope I'm around that long!
