Amateur Radio Call Signs of Russia (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Amateur radio or ham radio call signs are unique identifiers for the 24,000 licensed operators in Russia. Call signs are regulated internationally by the ITU as well as nationally by The Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications of the Russian Federation. The latter is responsible for providing policy on the allocation of Russia's radio spectrum to support efficient, reliable and responsive wireless telecommunications and broadcasting infrastructure. In 1991 Russia inherited the largest portion of the former Soviet Union's allocated call signs. The other post-USSR countries which inherited parts of the ITU UAA-UZZ call sign block are Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.
