This CONTEST is based on the Russian tradition to celebrate each year two “New year” days – one based on Gregorian Calendar and other on Julian Calendar. This tradition started in 1918 when our country switched from Julian Calendar to Gregorian one (used now in majority of world countries).

The ONY CONTEST (ONY - Old New Year) is sponsored by "Radio" Magazine (Russia). All participants of ONY 2013 will get UPOL replica QSL to commemorate 75 years of this ever first drifting polar station "North Pole".
