Actually it is known as Transnistria or Transdniester and it is located on the Eastern edge of Moldova between the Dniester River and the border between Moldova and Western Ukraine. It actually predates the activities in Eastern Ukraine.

How have we as hams or contest sponsors handled similar situations in the past?

Recently I received a complaint from Konstantin, whose "call" is D1WW, saying that the RBN did not recognize his call. It turns out there is a reason - he is in the part of eastern Ukraine that has been illegally seized by the Russians, and the D1 prefix is not recognized by the ITU.

I assume that he will turn up on the bands and maybe in contests this fall, so I thought it was worth letting people know in advance. He sent me a copy of his "license" if anyone wants to see it.
