New Russian Callsign Prefix System

Russian Call Prefix System

If you have been on the HF bands lately, you may have noticed that a number of new prefixes are in use by stations in the Russian Federation. Here is a summary of the changes recently adopted by the Russian telecommunication authorities.

  • Russian prefixes with the numeral 2 are no longer limited to Kaliningrad.
    Stations with RA2 and UA2-UI2 (with F and K as the first letter in the suffix) are in Kaliningrad;
    otherwise, these prefixes will used in European Russia.
  • Stations with the following prefixes are in European Russia: R1, RA1-RZ1
    (except RI1 as noted below), R2, RB2-RZ2, R3-R7, RA3-RZ7, UA1 and UA3-UI7.
  • All stations with 8, 9 and 0 as the numeral are in Asiatic Russia.
  • Russian Antarctic stations use temporary call signs in the series RI1ANA-RI1ANZ and RI00ANT to RI99ANT.
  • Franz Jozef Land stations use temporary call signs RI1F, RI1FJ and RI1FJA-RI1FJZ.
  • Malyj Visotskij island stations use temporary call signs RI1M, RI1MV and RI1MVA-RI1MVZ.

How I can find Kaliningrad on air? Main 3 rules. Now Kaliningrad is:

  • 1. all Russian U-prefix with number 2 (only prefix UA2 to UI2)
  • 2. only one prefix «RA2» (for «R2» see rule 3)
  • 3. all any Russian R-prefix with suffixes only 2F and 2K
