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.

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.

WAE Country list :  C3-CT1-CU-DL-EA-EA6-EI-F-G-GD-GI-GJ-GM- GM
(Shetland)-GU-GW-HA-HB-HB0-HV-I-IS-IT-JW(Bear)-JW(Spitsbergen)

4J1-4U1(Geneva)-4U1(Vienna)-9H1.

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
