LF: RU6LA

[Markus Vester <markusvester@aol.com>]

Hi Alex,

thank you very much for this personal information. Yes I have often wondered in the past what the connection between Ed and Alex might heve been...

I still remember the pileup when RU6LWZ came on LF for the first time, producing a beautiful pileup of coloured QRSS and DFCW signals from all corners of Europe:

For the future, I can only hope that your people, and all of us, will be able to live in peace and freedom, with no need to hide or be afraid.  

Best wishes,
Markus (DF6NM)

Betreff: Re: LF: CORRECTION regarding 2E0ILY-N1BUG QSO

Alan,

I know Ed RU6LA (real name Alexander Lesnichy) and all his callsigns: 

SWL UB5-073-837 -  an obligatory condition for receiving a full call sign or work at the club station in the soviet era

UB5-UR5IBG, UT6IZ  in East of Ukraine - now there is a war and people are dying :(((  On 136.73.ru has the pics with burning candle, and while it will not stop, they will burn

RU6LA up to Sep 2010

Since the end of 1940s the Soviet radio amateurs are forbidden to work with the "capitalist" countries (it allowed at the end of 1950). After WW2, soviet radio amateurs had to send under QSO his full first and last name (it was until the mid-1960s) and be sure to put them in your log and it is all his QSOs. Logs was periodically checked. At club stations such order was to the mid-1980s.

Many soviet hams took a little short names similar to their real names. To avoid problems in exchanging QSL cards or awards from the blacklist (4X, some DLs and Ws, BV (Taiwan) and other DX) or some contest logs and prizes via single official P.O. BOX 88 or CRC . Some illegal QSOs, they are not logged.

Alexander handed over the name "Ed Alexandrov" under QSOs and post with the mid-1970s. It was a half name its older brother ( "Vlad" UA6LV - now R7LV)

Since Sep 2010 his call R7NT and short HAM's name "Alex"

But it appears again soon he would have to return to illegal names in radio, unfortunately :(((

Earlier, your button "G3NYK's Prop»  has been very relevant...

For some time I have stopped receiving messages from me to rsgb_lf_group on this email. But I can see that some of them answer me

Now I have to check mail via https://klubnl.pl/rsgb_lf_group-archives/html/rsgb_lf_group/

I do not see my long and important msg dated 30 March  (way ????)

Later I repeat it

Hi Alex yes I am sure we all had our bouts of 'unlicenced experimentation'  The LF community was so small that anything like a T/A qso would probably not go unnoticed. RU6LAs collection of events was an interesting read. I must remember to consult it before ''mis-remembering'' in future:-))  it corrected several silly errors in my first post.

 

It seems a long time ago now . If you have contact with Ed (?) RU6LA could you advise that the URL, behind the button to my propagation report in the toolbar at the top, no longer exists.

 

Best Wishes
