It has been an interesting 5 days since the original announcement. I
think we have all learned a little geopolitical history and learned a
little about each other.
Time to put it behind us and get ready for the contest. Expeditions are
arriving on site and beginning their antenna preparations. Work
everyone you can and remember to submit your log within 5 days of the
end of the contest.

the

award

the

> "Therefore, the listings of Crimean stations submitting logs for CQ
> contests will be based on the call sign under which they have
operated.
> If they used Russian-issued calls in the contest, they will be listed
> under Russia; if they used Ukrainian-issued calls in the contest, they
> will be listed under Ukraine. This change reflects not only the desire
of

members
