Why this petition matters

Started by Radio Amateurs

Russian and Belarusian radio amateurs have always taken part in the contests of the "CQ" magazine with great pleasure and achieved significant results.

Unfortunately, in the updated "CQWW 2022" Contest Rules:

1st document dated March 17, 2022:

and updated document version dated August 31, 2022:
https://cqnewsroom.blogspot.com/2022...lating-to.html

hosted by "CQ" magazine, a number of insulting remarks were made against radio amateurs in these two countries. Such decisions are discriminatory and completely infringe on the rights of Russian and Belarusian amateur radio participants. In addition, this decision is based on russophobia, discrimination based on nationality and significantly damages the basic principles of the amateur radio community. In other words, the actions of the organizers of the contests damage the most fundamental concept - the HAM SPIRIT.

In addition, this decision is contrary to the international fundamental principles of IARU (International Amateur Radio Union).

In the current situation, radio amateurs from Russia and Belarus do not see any prospects for participation in these competitions held by "CQ" until the restrictions are completely lifted. We demand the annulment of such an illegal decision without any additional conditions. Stop discrimination, degrading acts and xenophobic attacks!
