Special Prefix

Version françaiseVersión española

Why use a special prefix ?

Special prefix will be use to the safety of our operators during an activation in dangerous country or to protect them against delation from some operators ! We can see problems we had with 225 div. RC activation !

Now RC group take decision to use the new special prefix rules ! We hope more others groups will work on same way.
