WWFF Monthly Pulse – May 2025

Tags

WWFF stats now in for May, after a one-month wait for log uploads. Similar activity levels as in April.

There was a comment last time by Rumen LZ2AF about QSO numbers on 6m/VHF/UHF being interesting for the summer months, due to the presence of sporadic-E conditions (6m -> 2m).

So in preparation for June/July/August, here are the numbers for April and May as comparison:

WWFF Team would like to invite all WWFF Activators and Hunters to participate in

  • WWFF Activators are invited to be active from WWFF areas as much as possible.
  • A big opportunity for our hunters to work new WWFF areas and increase their score.
  • We recommend all Activators to use the WWFF Agenda and the WWFF Facebook Group to inform the WWFF Hunter community of their plans.
  • After each activity the Activators have to send in their logs to the log manager responsible for the areas they activated.
  • The deadline for sending in logs to count towards this special event is September 21st.
  • To facilitate the special award processing we ask the activators – especially when using vanity /special event calls or group calls – to make sure the operator field in their logs is populated with their home callsign.
  • The log uploaders then have untill September 21tha to check and upload the logs. By September 30th we will start generating the awards and rank lists based on the available data in WWFF LogSearch.

Announcing the “Meet the WWFF’ers” post series

Tags

Many callsigns familiar to WWFF’ers are heard activating and hunting on the bands daily. Likewise, WWFF national program volunteers keep the local wheels turning and churn out new ideas to develop their programs.

We would like to do a series of brief WWFF blog & Facebook posts that help us get to know each other better, and that enable the sharing of ideas between individuals and national programs. Posts such as “Meet Karl, DL1ABC”, or “Meet the Canadians: VEFF”.

==> We are now looking for one or more volunteer “editors” to manage this recurring post series (for example once a week). As a foundation, we plan to have a battery of questions that can be distributed to selected individuals/programs so as to help in composing the brief posts.

Interested?? Please e-mail OH6KZP at kim.ostman@gmail.com. Thanks!
