Uli, DJ9KR reports on efforts to resolve the problem of taxi drivers in the Russian Federation using 28 MHz FM.

Dear fellow Intruder Busters,
More than a year ago (24 October 2010) I asked the Headquarters of SRR, Box 88, 119311 Moscow (attention Roman R. Thomas RZ3AA, Yuri B. Malyuk RA4AR) for assistance because of the big number of illegal taxis in Russian language in FM in the range 28000 – 29700 kHz.

The letter was by Air Mail and by e-Mail. Unfortunately I received no answer so far.

So I decided to contact the Russian telecom authorities directly.
On 29 September 2011 I sent my complaint by fax and Registered Air Mail to the Radio Frequency Service, General Radio Frequency Centre, Federal State Unitary Enterprise, 7 Tverskaya Str., Moscow 125375.

To my surprise on 31 October 2011 I received an answer by fax re. RUS / CIS taxis in the range 28000 – 29700 kHz.

Here is the answer from Moscow :
