I've been able to find out some more information, thanks to people on this reflector:
>From my U60UNK QSL card: "November 7, 1977, marked 60 years of the Great October Socialist Revolution. This date is an important milestone in the life of Soviet people and the world liberation movement. To commemorate the anniversary Soviet amateur radio operators have carried out DX-pedition <<October-60>>. It began on board fhe [sic] historical cruiser <<Aurora>> in Leningrad and went through the cities that had been the first to receive the radio message of the Revolution's victory." The matrix of callsigns I know about is as follows (hope the tabs come out): Callsign Date City Republic Notes -------- ---- ---- -------- ----- U60A 22-Apr-77 Leningrad E. Russia UA1C U60KLN 08-May-77 Kaliningradsk Kaliningrad UA2 U60RST 08-May-77 Rostov on Don E. Russia UA6L U60NKW 08-Jul-77 Nova Kakhovka Ukraine UB5 (*) U60BAK 08-Jul-77 Baku Azerbaijan UD6 U60BGD 08-Jul-77 Belgorod E. Russia UA3Z (*) U60SEW 07-Aug-77 Sewastopol Ukraine UB5 U60UNK 07-Sep-77 Ulyanovsk E. Russia UA4L OBL 164 U60WLA 07-Sep-77 Wladivostok A. Russia UA0L U60TKT 08-Sep-77 Tashkent Uzbekistan UI8 (*) Best guess of city based on prefix notes in my logbook. I'm sure there are lots of other callsigns but I can't find any more information on them. Any help would be appreciated.
