SOME RESPONSES TO RECENT WORLD EVENTS
* QRZ has reinstated the Russian  and  Belarusian callsigns  that were  tem-
  porarily removed  [425DXN 1609]. "The 24-hour restriction  on our database
  has ended", AA7BQ  announced on 4 March.  "It was done in protest to raise
  awareness of the situation  in Ukraine and it wasn't without controversy",
  he says. "I'm sorry for causing such an uproar and you can be certain that
  it won't happen again, to any country or region for as long as QRZ lives".
* On 4 March the  Radio Society of Great Britain  announced its decision  to
  "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 partici-
  pate in any event that is organised/sponsored by the RSGB".  For RSGB Con-
  tests,  "until further notice,  all logs  received  from  stations  in the
  Russian Federation or Belarus will be treated as check logs".

+ SILENT KEY + Reportedly, Ivan Lysenko, UR8GX  was killed  in action  while
defending his  home city of  Kherson, Ukraine  a few days ago.  Ivan was  an
active DXer and a well known contester; he also operated with the UR1G  team
from the Kalanchakskiye Islands (EU-179)  during the  IOTA Contest  over the
past few years.
