With all due respect and with all the appreciation I feel towards long term
friends in both Russia and Ukraine.
Crimea is not part of Russia, despite the fact that it is being illegally
annexed to it.
The international community as a whole has pronounced in favor of
Ukraine soverignity which certainly includes Crimea. Why should CQ
pronounce otherwise?
Accepting operations from Crimea with russian calls ipso facto does not
contribute to contesting nor to amateur radio at all. It would only be a
sign that our hobby doesn't care about International Law and the
Independence of Nations.
I feel for those Ukrainian stations in Crimea that are being forced to sign
russian callsigns, but this is way above contesting and cannot be
acccepted, since it is the outcome of illegal actions that no one, but
Russia government endorses.
