WE LOOSE 12 DXCC entities now maximum number attainable is around 328

Important information if you listen to amateur bands:

North Korea (P5) is closed off.

Turkmenistan (EZ) is not issuing (or no longer issues) amateur radio licenses.

Scarborough Reef (BS7H) and Pratas Island (BV9P) are located in disputed waters of the South China Sea, with no civilian access.

Johnston Island (KH3), Midway (KH4), and Kure Island (KH7K) are inaccessible due to USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) regulations regarding "marine monuments."

The last activation of Navassa (KP1) was in 2015, and the USFWS has indicated that no further activations will be permitted.

Syria (YK), Sudan (ST), Afghanistan (YA), and Myanmar (XZ) cannot host legitimate operations under current conditions.

That amounts to 12 entities—or even more—that are out of reach. The maximum number attainable for a DXer starting out today is around 328.
