Hans,
you should stop displaying your ignorance and disrespect of international and countries regulations and memory of hams who lost their lives and licenses. This is not sport of playing cards or "radios", but a serious matter of licensing and having priviledge of operating transmitters according to strict regulations. Russia has attacked Ukraine and occupied Ukrainian territory. How can Russians issue Ukranian ITU allocated callsigns???? UB????
Please stop spreading nonsense!!!!

Dead Ukrainians and passengers of Malaysian plane "care". Can Mexicans issue US ham licenses???

A fellow hobbyist wants to play radio. That is a fact independent of whatever bureaucratic organization currently claims the territory.


To "play" Ham radio you need to be properly licensed by proper authorities, otherwise you are a PIRATE!!!

Simply accepting Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea would also be a political statement.

It would seem that if CQ wishes to take a political stance on the Russian occupation of Crimea, the appropriate thing to do would be to not accept
logs from any Russian stations whatsoever.

Penalizing Crimean stations achieves the opposite of the intended effect, unless the idea is to punish them for allowing the occupation to happen.

Hans, thank you.
You got it absolutely right. Why should a boy who only loves radio and contesting, why should he be penalized for whatever political games happen around him. Why CQ magazine deprives this boy from from participation in the contest CQ mag sponsors? Is that the purpose of this contest and ham radio in general to divide people into first and second grade based on the
governments these people live under?
Why ARRL found may be temporary but wise solution to the problem but CQ magazine decided that they know better and did it in their own way? Do they understand that they do harm not only to their sponsored contest but to ham
radio in general?

(W2VU and K2RED added to the conversation on the advice of K5ZD)

Here's the long and short of it from my viewpoint.

A certain boy in a certain place has a hobby radio station. He wishes to participate in radiosport contests run by hobbyist magazines in another
place.

His license conditions including how he must identify his station are dictated by whatever government has authority over that place at any given
time.

Other governments, rightly or wrongly, might dispute that authority, but the boy in that place is not subject to the authority of those other
countries.

Now those hobby magazines have decided that the politicians (in their country) shall be the ultimate authority whether the boy and his radio (in
another country) are eligible to play in their contest.

Methinks the hobby magazines are taking themselves far too seriously, and in an international hobby have cloaked themselves in misplaced provincial
patriotism.

The CQ WW Contest Committee was very divided on this issue. The Editor and Publisher of CQ Magazine have made this policy decision. Any comments or
appeals should be directed to CQ.
