New amateur radio society for the Russian Federation ==================================================== The disintegration of the USSR saw the collapse of the former country's amateur radio society, the RSF. There is now a new national amateur radio organisation registered in the Russian Federation, known as (in English) the "union of radio amateurs of Russia", otherwise called the SRR. It was registered last April with the Russian Ministry of Justice as the country's national amateur radio organisation. The SRR is seeking membership of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU). If you're going to the Russian Federation and are interested in operating while you're there, you should apply to the SRR. They have an agreement with the Telecommunications Author- ities which enables them to provide this service. Condensed from WIA News-on-Disk November 1993 ------------------------------------- WAE RTTY Contest rules part 2 ====================== ====== Multipliers: each DXCC/WAE-country counts as a multiplier. Multipliers count only once per band. Multiplier bonus: A multiplier on 3.5 MHz may be multiplied by four. A multilpier on 7 MHz may be multiplied by three. A multiplier on 14/21/10 MHz may be multiplied by two.

QTC points: Count 1 point for each QTC reported to any station NOT ON YOUR OWN CONTINENT. Each station may both send and receive QTCs, but the sum of QTCs exchanged between two stations (sent plus received) must not exceed 10. Eaxh QTC (message) will contain: Time, Callsign, Number. Example: QTC: 1307/WA7EGA/131 means that you worked WA7EGQA at 1307 UTC and received his serial number 131. A QSO may be reported only once and not back to the originating station. (You cannot report a QSO with WA7EGA back to WA7EGA for credit). The same station may be worked several times to complete the quota of 10, but only the original contact has QSO point value. A uniform list of QTCs sent must be kept. QTC 3/7 indicates that this is the third series and that 7 QTCs are now being sent. Record all received QTCs on a separate sheet with a clear indication of the sender. If more than 100 QTCs are claimed, a QTC check-list must show that the maximum quota of 10 QTCs per station has not been exceeded. Final scores: Multiply total number of QSOs plus QTCs by total number of multipliers To be continued --------------------------------------- IPS weekly report ----------------- 29 October - 4 November 1993 Issue no.: 45 Date of issue: 5 November 1993 Date 29 30 31 01 02 03 04 10cm 92 91 91 91 93 94 96 A 09 02 04 08 03 14 (50 estimated) T -6 30 55 44 38 61 76 Summary of activity Solar activity was very low 29th October to 3rd November, and low on 4th.
