Deleted districts (because of union with existing districts). Here two existing districts were united into one district with now common administration. So You have to change all QSOs for the old district, e.g. AR-08, to the new district, in this case AR-23. If You have already confirmed AR-23 so You will just loose AR-08. If You haven't confirmed AR-23 but AR-08 so the QSO with AR-08 now confirms AR-23, no matter for which date the QSO is. United districts (67): AO-05 -> AO-07 BA-09 -> BA-33 BA-10 -> BA-36 BA-11 -> BA-38 BA-12 -> BA-40 BA-13 -> BA-42 BA-14 -> BA-47 BA-15 -> BA-49 BA-16 -> BA-55 BA-18 -> BA-64 BA-24 -> BA-73 BA-25 -> BA-75 BA-26 -> BA-81 BO-03 -> BO-08 BO-04 -> BO-11 BO-07 -> BO-27 BO-15 -> BO-05 BO-25 -> BO-06 BR-05 -> BR-14 CN-07 -> CN-14 KG-04 -> KG-15 KM-15 -> KM-02 KM-16 -> KM-05 KO-21 -> KO-01 MD-04 -> MD-17 MD-05 -> MD-22 MO-12 -> MO-01 MO-19 -> MO-36 MO-55 -> MO-22 MO-81 -> MO-36 MU-12 -> MU-22 MU-14 -> MU-22 MU-15 -> MU-22 SL-27 -> SL-19 SV-44 -> SV-14 SV-49 -> SV-17 SV-50 -> SV-19 SV-57 -> SV-30 SV-59 -> SV-76 SV-62 -> SV-36 SV-63 -> SV-38 SV-65 -> SV-39 SV-68 -> SV-40 TA-08 -> TA-21 TA-09 -> TA-26 TA-10 -> TA-30 TA-11 -> TA-32 TA-12 -> TA-37 TA-13 -> TA-38 TA-14 -> TA-39 TA-15 -> TA-44 TA-17 -> TA-49 TA-18 -> TA-51 TA-19 -> TA-61 TA-63 -> TA-33 TL-28 -> TL-11 TN-15 -> TN-04 TV-05 -> TV-17 TV-06 -> TV-19 TV-08 -> TV-27 TV-10 -> TV-30 TV-11 -> TV-37 TV-12 -> TV-39 TV-15 -> TV-50 VG-30 -> VG-11 VR-16 -> VR-07 YN-05 -> YN-09 4. Total deleted (2): TA-16 -> deleted TL-27 -> deleted 5. Correction of already submitted RDA to the RDA award committee. The lists of already confirmed districts will be corrected by hand and resent to You. As this will take some time we suggest You to recorrect Your list Yourself and send it for verification to the following email address: rx3rc@rdaward.org. For an accurate display of results in the RDA toplist we will include only converted lists with all corrections derived from the changes as of 01.02.2016. We hope for Your understanding. The RDA list hasn't changed since 2010, now the new list reflects the most accurate list of current existing districts in Russia.
