RX9TX continued: I guess then that the references I posted for the Russian amateur licence are still valid. The monster referred to is the IARU R1 band plan, the ugliness referred to is the mind set
RX9TX continued: Yes, where CEPT isn't possible or applicable, where reciprocal agreements don't exist or aren't applicable, where HAREC won't help, where IARP isn't possible or applicable, there rem

N2WN asked: I believe only this year's WAE contests that the new rule adding the IARU R1 band plan has applied, so we have yet to see what is done about violations of the rule. The second question I
The yachtie net 5B4AIZ described in R1 is similar to what we have here in R3. 14320 is the frequency used & from having been involved with them off & on over the years (I used to sail a lot, friends
