Hans,
you should stop displaying your ignorance and disrespect of 
international and countries regulations and memory of hams who lost 
their lives and licenses.
This is not sport of playing cards or "radios", but a serious matter of 
licensing and having priviledge of operating transmitters according to 
strict regulations.
Russia has attacked Ukraine and occupied Ukrainian territory. How can 
Russians issue Ukranian ITU allocated callsigns???? UB???? 
Please stop spreading nonsense!!!!

Dead Ukrainians and passengers of Malaysian plane "care". Can Mexicans 
issue US ham licenses??? 
 A fellow hobbyist wants to play radio.  That is a fact independent of 
whatever bureaucratic organization currently claims the territory.
 
To "play" Ham radio you need to be properly licensed by proper 
authorities, otherwise you are a PIRATE!!!

Simply accepting Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea would also be a 
political statement.

It would seem that if CQ wishes to take a political stance on the

Penalizing Crimean stations achieves the opposite of the intended 
effect,
unless the idea is to punish them for allowing the occupation to 
happen.

Hans, thank you.
You got it absolutely right. Why should a boy who only loves radio 
and
contesting, why should he be penalized for whatever political games 
happen
around him. Why CQ magazine deprives this boy from from 
participation in
the contest CQ mag sponsors? Is that the purpose of this contest and 
ham
radio in general to divide people into first and second grade based 
on the 
governments these people live under?
Why ARRL found may be temporary but wise solution to the problem but 
CQ
magazine decided that they know better and did it in their own way? 
Do they
understand that they do harm not only to their sponsored contest but 
to ham 
radio in general?

(W2VU and K2RED added to the conversation on the advice of K5ZD)
 
Here's the long and short of it from my viewpoint.
A certain boy in a certain place has a hobby radio station.  He 
wishes to
participate in radiosport contests run by hobbyist magazines in 
another 
place.
His license conditions including how he must identify his station 
are
dictated by whatever government has authority over that place at 
any given 
time.
Other governments, rightly or wrongly, might dispute that 
authority, but
the boy in that place is not subject to the authority of those 
other 
countries.
Now those hobby magazines have decided that the politicians (in 
their
country) shall be the ultimate authority whether the boy and his 
radio (in 
another country) are eligible to play in their contest.
Methinks the hobby magazines are taking themselves far too 
seriously, and
in an international hobby have cloaked themselves in misplaced 
provincial 
patriotism.

The CQ WW Contest Committee was very divided on this issue. The 
Editor and
Publisher of CQ Magazine have made this policy decision. Any 
comments or 
appeals should be directed to CQ.
