Менее чем за неделю до CQ WW DX CONTEST, вышел релиз журнала CQ, из которого следует,
что спонсоры соревнований приняли решение о запрете радиолюбителям Крыма участвовать
российскими позывными в данных соревнования.
В полное мере это решение нарушает принципы "HAM SPIRIT"
На QRZ.RU проводится голосование по данному вопросу. адрес:

After considerable deliberation, CQ has determined that the best course of action regarding
Crimea and CQ contests is to follow the lead of the United Nations and the United States
government, both of which continue to consider Crimea to be part of Ukraine, until such
time as the political situation there is resolved. Therefore,
Logs will not be accepted for any CQ contest from stations in Crimea operating with
Russian-issued call signs. Contacts made by others with those stations will be removed
from contestants' logs without penalty. No contact or multiplier credits will be given.
We fully realize that our action may very well disenfranchise several Crimean contesters
who use Russian prefixes instead of Ukrainian prefixes. As regrettable as that may be,
our action is consistent with international law, as well as with our own Rules.
