Status of the Crimean region of Ukraine for DX award purposes - thoughts from DX Labs:- “Consistent with the rules of DXCC, effective with the annexation of Crimea by Russia today, Crimea in occupied territory or an area “in rebellion” against the lawful government. As is the case in other disputed areas like the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Kosovo, Russian enclaves (Abkhazia and South Ossetia) in Georgia, etc., contacts with stations in those areas should not count for DXCC. Pending official word from the DXCC desk, Ukrainian callsigns with ’J’ as the first letter of the suffix will be removed from the next version of the DXCC database used by DXLab Suite. The call signs effected begin with UR#J through UZ#J, EM#J through EO#J, and U5J. When announced by Russia, the block(s) of Russian callsigns assigned to the “Crimea Oblast” will also be removed from the Russian entries in the DXCC database used by DXLab Suite. LotW will need to cance l certificates for any calls in the effected blocks and eQSL.cc will need to apply end dates to any accounts for the same.”
