This past Wednesday I woke up at 3:00am, with temperatures just under 30 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 C) and made my way to the Harrisburg Airport in my home state of Pennsylvania. By the end of the day I was setting up my radio equipment in Oleta River State Park for another WWFF-KFF activation just outside Miami, Florida, where temperatures were 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 C). It’s nice to experience some warm weather in February!

Denise and I got up at 6.30am to walk our dog before having breakfast and setting out for Dunwich on the Suffolk coast.
Dingle Marshes is on the edge of the village and has a large car park so not too far to walk.
Our stations are very minimal both being QRP operators ad consist of Elecraft KX2’s with 2.5Ah Lypo batteries, a couple of camping chairs, a couple of 10m poles one for the half wave end fed vertical (with a 1m extension to the pole) and the other for the link dipole for the 40/20m inverted V.

ONFF-0573 is a very small area in north-east Belgium.
This was the maiden-test for my new home-brew linked dipole. The test was more than satisfying :
257 QSO’s in 4 continents (EU, AS, NA, AF) and 34 DXCC. 5 Park2Park QSO’s and very happy to hear the USA peeps hunting for the European WWFF refs !!! Have about 20 USA calls in the log, signals peaked to real 599.

Yesterday (Saturday 11th February 2017), my wife VK5FMAZ and I activated the Angove Conservation Park VKFF-0867, a little 5 hectare piece of scrub in the north eastern suburbs of the city of Adelaide in South Australia. Together, we made a total of 57 contacts on 20, 40, and 80m. Best DX worked during the activation was Danny ON4VT on 40m SSB. Not bad considering I was using just 40 watts and a linked dipole, inverted vee, 7m at the apex. Also nice to get Ken ZL4KD, the ZLFF co-ordinator in the log.
