Sorry, Stu, but your map is faulty. I have made a quick map of the area, and
added names of relevant places.

You can clearly see the sweep of the Ural mountains running top to bottom
in the lighter green, and the blue Ural River. At least (by my estimate)
20% of the Orenburg oblast is to the east of both the Ural mountains *and*
the Ural River, and hence is in Asia. Even a bit of the Respublika
Bashkortostan (UA9W) lies in Asia as well, by that definition.
The problem with the CQ people is that they are not interested in the small
details of their awards, and won't devote any time to correcting obvious
errors in their lists.
