[Dx-qsl] UC Prefix

[Lee Noonan]

Weren't some of My answers correct????
 I can remember talking to a UC HAM in Byelorussia who said "White =
Russia"
Remember We are a long way from Europe.... and most Australians don't =
even know there is a White Russia or Kazakistan etc... .... Actually =
MOST Australians have  ALWAYS called the Soviet Union   "RUSSIA"
I was looking at My Ham Prefix Map of the world and "Guessing"....
We hear or See very little about Europe on TV down here.... in English.  =
 [there are Foreign Language TV Channels]
Thanks for all the information Waldemar.
