   ARLD033 ITU Assigns New Prefix for Niue: E6A-E6Z   
      
   On August 3, the ITU updated its Table of International Call Sign   
   Series to reflect a call sign change for Niue. The island will now   
   have the entire E6 prefix block. Niue -- an island approximately   
   1500 miles northeast of New Zealand -- is a self-governing island   
   nation that has been in free association with New Zealand since   
   1974. Prior to the change, the island used ZK2. According to the CIA   
   World Factbook, Niue is about 1.5 times the size of Washington, DC,   
   and has a population of almost 1300 people.
