QRZ Blocks Russian Ham Radio Callsigns

Post author By admin
Post date March 4, 2022

Whilst the invasion of Ukraine by Russia happens, many governments around the world have sanctioned Russia for their military action against a innocent country and people.

This seems to have now spilled over into the ham radio community with QRZ announcing that they will be banning the search function and viewing of Russian and Belarus callsigns.
