DX: Russian Federation Puts New Callsign
Prefixes in Play
A number of new prefixes are in use by stations in the
Russian Federation. Here is a rundown of changes recently
adopted by 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; other-
wise, these prefixes will be 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 pre-
fixes 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 Ø
as the numeral are in Asiatic Russia.
• Russian Antarctic stations use temporary callsigns in the
series RI1ANA-RI1ANZ and RIØØANT to RI99ANT.
• Franz Jozef Land stations use temporary callsigns RI1F,
RI1FJ and RI1FJA-RI1FJZ.
• Malyj Visotskij island stations use temporary callsigns
RI1M, RI1MV and RI1MVA-RI1MVZ. (DX World columnist
Kelly Jones, NØVD, will have more on the new prefixes in
September’s WRO – Ed.) – (From R5AA)
to receive reductions to our funding levels, we are forced to
examine our entire program and make cuts. The WWV service
costs are quite high and the information we provide on it is cur-
rently duplicated via the Internet service.
“A very large majority of our customers use our Internet
feeds, so when comparing the two duplicate services it was clear
to us that the WWV service was that most logical service to
cut.” (From IRTS)
Radio Amateurs Answer Call for EmComm
Help from SATERN
After a devastating EF5 tornado leveled a broad area of
Joplin, Missouri in May, more than 50 amateur radio operators
responded to a request to help the Salvation Army Team
Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) to provide logistical
support to the affected areas.
Just two days later, all personnel needs had been met. The
hams helped to relay information to the Salvation Army’s Joplin
headquarters about inventory, requests for food and drink and
maintenance problems. (Details of SATERN’s support in Joplin
are being reported in the Public Service column of September’s
CQ Amateur Radio magazine. – Ed.)
Senate’s Companion Bill to HR 607
Protects Amateur Spectrum
In May, U.S. Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-Connecticut) and
John McCain (R-Arizona) introduced in the Senate S 1040 —
The Broadband for First Responders Act of 2011.
Unlike a previous version of the U.S. House of
Representatives’ HR 607, it does not call for auctioning
any spectrum that would have affected radio amateurs’
70-cm band.
S 1040 has a similar overall objective to HR 607, which was
introduced in the House of Representatives in February by U.S.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY).
Both bills call for the allocation of the so-called “D block”
of spectrum, 758-763 and 788-793 MHz, to facilitate the devel-
opment of a public safety broadband network. (More details on
S 1040 and news of the modification of HR 607 appear in Terry
Douds, N8KI’s, Amateur Satellites column elsewhere in this
edition. – Ed.) – (From multiple sources)
FCC’s Top Dog Does the ‘Pop-In’ at
Dayton Hamvention ®
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski made a surprise visit
to the 2011 Dayton Hamvention® on Saturday morning,
May 21.
According to reports from Hamvention officials,
Genachowski was flying to Dallas when his plane was divert-
ed to Dayton due to weather issues. When he found it was dif-
ficult to get a hotel room for the night because nearly 20,000
amateur radio operators were in town for Hamvention, the FCC
Chairman decided to visit the show before resuming his trip the
next morning.
He reportedly spent about an hour and a half at Hara Arena,
and show officials said he was impressed with what he saw.

WWV to Discontinue Propagation Forecast
Broadcasts
The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) on

Commissioner Calls It Quits to Take
Comcast Post
FCC Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker stepped down
from the Commission on June 3 — about a month before the
end of her term — to take a job with Comcast as its Senior Vice
President of Government Affairs for NBC/Universal.
President Obama will have to name a Republican to replace
her, as the law permits no more than three members of one polit-
ical party on the five-member commission. (From CQ
