RUSSIAN PREFIXES
The following message was received September 9, 1999 from Vlad, UA0FZ.
I am quoting it as provided and cannot attest to its total
accuracy.
Minor grammatical editing was done.
"During the past few years a great number of different callsigns
have been issued in Russia. This makes it difficult to
define the
actual location of many of these stations.
Codes in Russian are as follows:
Russia has two blocks RAA-RZZ and UAA-UIZ. The prefix can
have one letter and one digit or two letters and one digit.
Digits 1 ,2,3,4,6 (additional 5) are for European part of Russia.
Digits 8 , 9 , 0 (additional 7) are for Asian part of Russia.
Letters in prefix RA, RK, RN, RU, RV, RW, RX, RZ and UA are
usual, daily callsigns.
Letters in prefix RB, RC, RD, RE, RF, RH, RI, RJ, RL, RM, RP,
RQ, RS, RR, RT, RY and UB, UC, UD, UF, UH and UI are special
callsigns.
For example RM6A, R19C, RF9C, RS0F, RM0F, RL0O, RI10A, RF6FU, RY9C,
RR3R,
RI0TA, RF0Z, RJ9J, RO3A and UD6M.
First letter, following digit, defines region from which
station is working. For example: RS0F - RS0 is a special prefix
for Asian part of Russia, - F - for Sakhalin region;
RM6A - RM6 is special prefix for European part of Russia;
A - for Krasnodarsky region.
Codes with UE prefix are used as domestic codes in Russia
for events and jubilee contests. One can not use this prefix in an
international contest.
Veterans of Second World War use prefixes R or U (1, 2, 3,
4, 6, 9,0).
Island Small Vysotsky - R1MVA-R1MVZ
Franz Josef Land - R1FJA-R1FJZ
Antarctica - R1ANA - R1ANL
Amateur Radio Operators may use their own code on these three
territories and transmit via slash MVI, FJL, ANT. For example:
UA1OT/MVI.
Cosmonauts use U1MIR - U9MIR codes."
