Dr Nikolai,
Thanks a lot for providing us with the following
information the other day:
-------------------------------------
"In Russia symbols of some areas have changed.
We ask to pay to this attention before Russian DX
Contest, please.
New symbols now in the following areas:
R3M - YR
R3S - RA
R9K - YN
R0H - EV
R0Q - SH
R0X - KY
The information about RDXC look on www.rdxc.org
73, de UA9KM,Nikolai Kuprin.
ua9km@ongp.ru ua9km@km.ru"
---------------------------------
I have a few comments:
- the RUSSIAN.DOM file which is distributed with
TR-Log updates is dated 03/05/98 and is slightly
out of date, unfortunately;
- Nikolai's comments above come in handy, but
they do not seem to cover everything;
- I have compared the present RUSSIAN.DOM
file with the Region data provided at the HP of
the organizers of the RDXC contest the coming
weekend, and a quick glance yielded the following
possible changes:
To be deleted or replaced?
Ja = JA
Jn = JN
Kj = KJ
Ya = YA
To be added?
Ky = KY
Sh = SH
Yn = YN
Yr = YR
To be replaced?
Ew = EW by Ev = EV
I would be happy if someone more versed in Russian
geography and administration could check what
I am suggesting above (QSL, Nikolai?)
Final question: provided that the above info is correct,
will my TR-Log be OK in this contest if I simply
edit RUSSIAN.DOM in accordance with the
hopingly agreed changes, such as the ones above?
73,
Rolf
