Market Reef - Märkets Fyr
Market Reef is a small Island on the border of Sweden and Finland and it is located at 60º18'10"N and 19º08'3"E.
Market Reef is about 300 meters long and 80 meters wide but the highest point is only some 3 meters above sea level.
The waters around Market Reef are deep and many ships, being victims of the rough storms, rest at the bottom of the sea around Market Reef.
Market Reef's DXCC status is very special due to the division of the island into two countries. The western part of the island belongs to Sweden and therefore counts only as EU-053 but not as 213 division whereas the eastern part belongs to Finland which is seperated from Market Reef by another DXCC (212 - Aland Islands) and therefore our beloved Market Reef is valid for an extra DXCC entity.
