” The WWFF August Activity Month “

From Thursday the 1st of August to Friday 31st of August 2024.

WWFF Team would like to invite all WWFF Activators and Hunters to participate in “The WWFF August Activity Month”.

  • The activity event will start at 00:00 UTC on August 1st and finish at 23:59 UTC on August 31st.
  • 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 9th.
  • 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 a week to check and upload the logs. By September 16th we will start generating the awards and rank lists based on the available data in WWFF LogSearch.

Participation Awards

On September 16th WWFF will publish awards for Activators and Hunters.

Approve “Apply for Awards”

Update 2024-07-21

Despite updating WordPress to the new version, and updating the plugin, the problem still exists…

As an interim, I temporarily disabled the guilty plugin, and manually ran the Apply for Awards script – which means many of our newer members now have the Apply for Awards privilege! If your account still doesn’t have the privilege, please check your profile to ensure that your name, primary callsign, continent and home DXCC are populated.

I will endeavour to run a manual update on a weekly-ish basis, until a more permanent fix can be found…

—

For reasons that I have not yet determined, one of the plugins required for this site is causing a failure in the overnight “batch” job that generates the Reference Statistics and Top Operators content. Amongst other things, this batch job also monitors registrations, and controls the Apply for Awards site privilege that allows users to (surprisingly enough) apply for awards.

The work-around involves disabling much of WordPress’s functionality during the batch jobs… however this means that the Apply for Awards task doesn’t work! This means that, for the time being, new users will not be able to apply for any awards.

This is (in my opinion) the lessor of two evils, as many users refer to the statistics…

Please bear with me, while I try and work out a better fix…

Changes to WWFF Awards

Currently:

  • the WWFF Activator award is issued in steps of 11.
  • the WWFF Hunter awards (Hunter, Points and Park to Park) are issued in steps of 100, above 444 references/points.

The Award Manager is issuing approximately 400 awards each month!  After careful consideration, to reduce the Award Manager’s workload, these will be revised as follows:

The WWFF Activator award will be issued in the following steps:

  • Below 440 references, in steps of 11 (unchanged)
  • Between 444 and 862, in steps of 22
  • Above 888, in steps of 44

Note: Only 19 activators have exceeded 444 references…

The WWFF Hunter award, Park-to-Park award and the Points award will be issued in the following steps:

  • Entry level at 10 references worked or points earned (unchanged)
  • Between 44 and 444, in steps of 44 (unchanged)
  • Between 444 and 4444, in steps of 100 (unchanged)
  • Between 4,444 and 8,444, in steps of 200
  • Above 8,444, in steps of 400

Any awards already issued remain valid; any pending awards will be issued if valid.

I trust all Activators and Hunters will support these revisions!
