The new call sign system in the Russian Federation
--------------------------------------------------
Rolf Rahne,DL6ZFG, has provided an overview and writes:
It was a good time when it was easy to identify with whom you were going to
deal with. We even got familiar with all those changes after the collapse of
the Soviet Union, but once more a reform of the call sign system in Russia
might cause some new difficulties. Short call signs may be asked for now and
many operators do so. At first sight the new system looks more complicated,
but a closer look will help to understand it.
The paper is trying to explain the system which is valid in Russia since
mid 2010. Some rules for the formation of call signs are logical, some
others are less understandable or less important for us. In Russia callsigns
for the amateur radio service are based on the 26 letters of the Latin
alphabet and the figures 1-0. The prefix is formed by the letter "R" or by
two letters "RA–RZ" or "UA–UI" (indicating the affiliation to the Russian
Federation), followed by a figure. The suffix is formed by up to four
characters, but special callsigns for certain occasions may have more than
four. Call signs which are similar to emergency codes, the series QRA-QTZ
and those being "vulgar" will not be issued.
It is the figure of the prefix and the first letter of the suffix that
indicate the territorial affiliation of the amateur radio station to a
certain part of Russia. One has to take into account that the Russian
Federation has been re-grouped, e.g. some regional districts (Oblasti)
have been merged. Further changes can be expected in the future.
Exceptions from these rules were made for the call RAEM (E.T. Krenkel) and
for identifiers used during ARDF activities.
