         Prince of Monaco (1848-1922), members of the Association des Radio-
         amateurs de Monaco (ARM) will operate SSB, CW and  digital modes as

         Oceanographic Museum of Monaco. [TNX F6AJA]

  CQ Communications, Inc., publishers of CQ Amateur Radio magazine and sponsor of the CQ World Wide DX and WPX Contests, announced today that in light of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and Belarus, it will not accept competitive entries in any of its sponsored contests by amateur radio stations in Russia, Belarus or the separatist Donbas region of Ukraine (unofficial D1 prefix). Logs submitted by these stations will be accepted only as checklogs. In addition, contacts with these stations by other participants will have zero point value and will not count as multipliers.
  This is in line with a similar action taken by the Radio Society of Great Britain, following the lead of other international sports federations around the world.
“We regret the need to take this action,” said CQ Publisher Richard Ross, K2MGA, “and recognize that the vast majority of our fellow amateurs who are affected by it are innocent bystanders who had no role in their government’s decision to invade another sovereign country. However, in light of the great suffering being inflicted without cause on the people of Ukraine by Russia’s leaders, we cannot in good conscience stand by and do nothing.”
  The CQ policy will take effect with the 2022 CQ WPX SSB Contest on March 26 and 27. Future events will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the situation at that time.

  The normal stance of amateur radio is that it is apolitical. However, it is clear that recent actions by the Russian Federation and their military have crossed a line and the RSGB cannot in this instance remain neutral.
   The policy of the RSGB is that we will follow the actions of the mainstream sporting bodies with regard to all activities of a competitive nature such as contests and ARDF. Russian and Belarusian radio amateurs are therefore currently ineligible to participate in any event that is organised/sponsored by the RSGB.
   The policy of the RSGB in commercial activities is that we will refrain from trade with Russia and Belarus until further notice.
RSGB Board
For RSGB Contests, until further notice, all logs received from stations in the Russian Federation or Belarus will be treated as check logs.

4S     - Peter, 4S7KKG (DC0KK) and  Wolfgang, 4S7DRG (DK9DR)  will visit the
         former Deutsche Welle relay station near Trincomalee on  2-9 March.
         "The station is now operated by the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corpora-
         tion (SLBC)", Peter says, and  "we will have the unique opportunity
         to use the large shortwave antennas between  7 and 21 Mhz  for ama-
         teur radio during transmission breaks". They will also have "a 104m
         high mast medium wave antenna for testing on the low bands".  Plans
         are to focus on SSB and FT8.
