Neither is it listed in the ISC list of newsqroups, therefore it's not a

NNTP server.


thanks to all contributors for the explanations and insights.

So ukras seems to be just a forum not accessible by newsreaders, despite
it's name suggesting that it is a proper newsgroup.

I hope the "important" discussions will be on the ras newsgroup, as I
find the monitoring of ukras through the gliderpilot.net forum software
too timeconsuming and therefore will not be a regular guest on that forum.
