[South Florida DX Association] Russian Prefix Changes

[Peter Rimmel]

Bill sent the link to this, but I thought it worthwhile sending out the
actual info on the Russian prefix changes.  Ya can't tell the players
without a scorecard:

Russian prefixes with the numeral 2 are no longer limited to Kaliningradsk.
Stations with RA2 and UA2-UI2 (with F and K as the first letter in the
suffix) are in Kaliningradsk; otherwise, these prefixes will used in
European Russia.

Stations with the following prefixes are in European Russia: R1, RA1-RZ1
(except RI1 as noted below), R2, RB2-RZ2, R3-R7, RA3-RZ7, UA1 and UA3-UI7.

Stations with the prefixes R8, R9, RA8-RZ9 and UA8-UI9 (with F, S, T, W or X
as the first letter in the suffix) are in EUROPEAN Russia.

Except for those listed above, all stations with 8, 9 and 0 as the numeral
are in ASIATIC Russia.

Russian Antarctic stations use temporary call signs in the series
RI1ANA-RI1ANZ and RI00ANT to RI99ANT.

Franz Jozef Land stations use temporary call signs RI1F, RI1FJ and
RI1FJA-RI1FJZ.

Malyj Visotskij island stations use temporary call signs RI1M, RI1MV and
RI1MVA-RI1MVZ.
