We have updated the Estonian "firsts" tables (DXCC count) on VUSHF bands, that can be followed from the link below. If you find that you have a QSO with an ES- (or former UR2-) station before the date in the table or that your country is not in the list at all (but you have a QSO), please let us know via e-mail to es2nj[ät]erau.ee.
Gratefully,

We herewith inform, that due to the continuous Russian invasion in Ukraine ERAÜ has decided to cancel also the 2023 ES OPEN HF CHAMPIONSHIP on April 15th. We are hoping for the restoration of peace in Eastern Europe soon that would allow us to invite you to participate in ES OPEN in 2024!
ERAÜ Board and HF Committee
Seeing the brutal invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army, ERAÜ expresses our deep sympathy to the Ukrainian people and is totally condemning this military action! To show solidarity with the hams in Ukraine, ERAÜ proposes that ES amateurs should temporarily stop working with Russian hams on air, though understanding that they can not be blamed of the current situation.
We are glad to announce, that the Lithuanian Amateur Radio Society (LRMD) has joined the proposal.
Slava Ukraini!
