Gary, The DATE is really YOURS to call --- I can not find a definative DATE anywhere -- BUT -- I have used the Feb 28, 2010 in the current REFDATA.mdb file for any of the RU changes that I had already included ... THERE was probably a PHASE-IN over time -- and, FYI -- looking at the SPOTS from DXSUMMIT -- the earliest RI1FJ is spotted on Aug 24, 2010 ... and the earliest RI1AN Sep 20, 2010 ..
I recall that we got the info about the earliest READING of the RU Prefix updates in EARLY 2010 --- but, this last RU Prefix reading is different from that early one .. I am going with Feb 28, 2010 for the LAST full day of the old method ... I recall that the email I rcvd from the RU callsign/pfx expert (DXbase-wise) mentioned that the date for the breakup of the soviet-union and the follow-on prefix/callsign changes were made OVER a period of time .. NO EXACT date -- so, the date of DEC 31, 1993 was selected to be used for DXbase ... I can see that with the RU pfx/calls there is nothing hard and fast to get your hands on.. If someone finds a DATE that is CERTAIN/FIRM then we can change at that time. 73 Joe wa6axe > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 08:28:52 -0800 > Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Refdata update for Russian Prefixes/Callsigns - Joe > wa6axe > > First, let me add my kudos for all the efforts Joe has made and continues to > make to keep DXBase a great logging and awards tracking program.
