A reminder from Oleg has appeared in my inbox:

Over two weeks (before October 18) "Sputniks" (valves) and "Vanguards"

All  QSOs  are approved. SWLs must copy Sputniks or Vanguards QSOs or
CQs. See details on the Club 72 page - www.club72.su
I  welcome  all  operators  to  take  a  part and looking for photos,
