Update 2017-04-24: a bug in calculating the Activator QSO count (for the WARD-A award) has been fixed.
An update to Logsearch has just been released, featuring a number of new awards:
This update also fixes a number of problems with the confirmation of Park to Park contacts, which has resulted in a further 1,000 P2Ps being confirmed. Unfortunately, nearly 7,000 remain unconfirmed – mostly due to the lack of the corresponding logs 🙁
Finally, this update addresses a number of minor issues:
Any problems, or new feature requests, via the Help Desk Forum please.

The story of a great QSO between DL4FO/p Chris and VK4FW Bill
Dear Bill,
Thanks for listening to my weak WWFF-signal on 20m today and answering my call.
You really made my day!! I was on a hiking trip and called from a wooden tower on a summit near Frankfurt (not a SOTA reference but within DLFF-0068).
Since it was getting cold and my wife waited with two dogs down at the tower, I only took out the little MFJ-1820T telescopic antenna, which is abt. 1.5 m long (see picture).
