[WriteLog] Russian Contest -OBLAST Changes

[Dan]

GM,
Razanskaya Obl is remain RA.

RZ - misprint/mistakes
Don't change anything!
Look here is correct Oblact List http://www.rdxc.org/regions.asp?ORDER=1
Some Russian stations used alternative abbreviations, but be sure the
main abbreviation is RA. If you worked UA3S's as RZ, just put it in
the log AS IS.
 From the rules:
11.10 Points and final score calculations are not necessary
for all type logs; final score calculations are done by our software.

JD> Following the minute panic in respect of changes to five Oblasts I have
JD> received today the 2003 Booklet covering last years contest in much detail.
JD> Contained in the data is a full list of Oblasts with lots on data on each
JD> area. I noticed in addition to the 5-last week a new one appeared in the
JD> list.
JD> Ryazanskaya Obl was RA now RZ  (R*3S)  this had puzzled me since 2-stations
JD> worked used the new reference which Writelog did not recognise
JD> and I was convinced I had read the exchange correctly. I made notes during
JD> the contest for any QSO's which Writelog disputed.

JD> Several stations worked used the Old References and this has resulted in
JD> those QSO's being downgraded to basic points (Not-10 Point QSO's) and has
JD> also missed any Oblast multiplier Credits.
