If you have been on the HF bands lately, you may have noticed that a
number of new prefixes are in use by stations in the Russian Federation.
Here is a summary of the changes recently adopted by the Russian
telecommunication authorities.
* 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. Also, 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.
