[CQ-Contest] CQ WW SSB

[Yuri Blanarovich]

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!!!!

Yuri, K3BU.us
