"The DXCC Desk Clarifies Russian Prefixes Which Count for European Russia
--
For the purposes of the DXCC and WAC awards, the following Russian
prefixes count as European Russia:
Any call with the prefixes UA through UI and the numbers
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Any call with the prefix U and the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Any call with the prefixes RA through RZ and the numbers 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7.
Any call with the prefix R and the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Exception:
Prefixes R, U, UA-UI, and RA-RZ, the number 2, and suffixes beginning
with F or K, count as Kaliningrad. Also, some legacy calls such as
UA2CZ are in Kaliningrad.
And from 1 December, 2011 forward, any QSO (with any date) with stations
using the following prefixes, count for European Russia:
Any call with the prefixes UA through UI, or the prefix U, and the
numbers 8, and 9, followed by a suffix beginning with the letters
F, G, or X (Perm and Komi).
Any call with the prefixes RA through RZ, or the prefix R, and the
numbers 8, and 9, followed by a suffix beginning with the letters
F, G, or X (Perm and Komi).
Since Russia joined CEPT, there are stations active with call signs
that do not indicate DXCC entity, such as RA/N6TR who operated from
Asiatic Russia, and RA/SM6LRR who operates from European Russia. These
types of portable call signs will be managed individually in the DXCC
system."
