Написал такое письмо в CQ и почти всем членам CQ Contest комитета:
To:
Mr. Richard S. Moseson, W2VU
Mr. Randy Tompson, K5ZD
CQ Contest Committee
I am an active radio amateur for 40 years. For the first time I
participated in CQWW DX contest in 1976 as UA6LED. Even during the
times of Soviet era and the Cold War, politics was banned in amateur
radio. Ham radio operators from different countries have always helped
each other and maintained friendly relations, regardless of race or
nationality.
Today I read in the CQ Newsroom the following messages:
CQ Newsroom: CQ Policy on Crimean Stations Using Russian-Issued Call Signs in CQ-Sponsored Contests
"CQ Policy on Crimean Stations Using Russian-Issued Call Signs in
CQ-Sponsored Contests
After considerable deliberation, CQ has determined that the best
course of action regarding Crimea and CQ contests is to follow the
lead of the United Nations and the United States government, both of
which continue to consider Crimea to be part of Ukraine, until such
time as the political situation there is resolved. Therefore,
Logs will not be accepted for any CQ contest from stations in Crimea
operating with Russian-issued call signs. Contacts made by others with
those stations will be removed from contestants' logs without penalty.
No contact or multiplier credits will be given.
We fully realize that our action may very well disenfranchise several
Crimean contesters who use Russian prefixes instead of Ukrainian
prefixes. As regrettable as that may be, our action is consistent with
international law, as well as with our own Rules. "
For me, this message was a shock. What are you doing? Think again! Is
the wind of the Cold War, which began to blow in international
politics, will also affect amateur radio? Please leave politics for
diplomats and do not give in to provocations of some short-sighted
radio amateurs from Ukraine.
With best regards,
Mikhail Bondarev (Mike), R3BM
Ex RL3BM, XV4BM, UA6LU, UA6LED
Думаю, чем больше такого рада обращений будет написано в личку и в различных форумах и рефлекторах (зарубежных), тем больше мы взбудоражим общественное мнение. Надо гнать волну! Бить в колокол и барабан! Присоединяйтесь!
