The Chesterfield Islands, located in the Coral Sea at approximately 19° 52' South, 158° 19' East, are separated by more than 350 km from the rest of New Caledonia. ARANC's application for membership to the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) was recently approved, qualifying the Chesterfields to become the newest addition to the official DXCC List, effective 23 March, 2000!
