OZFF Cup 2017

OZFF Group would like to invite all Hunters and OZFF Activators to OZFF Cup 2017.


The OZFF Cup is a simple competition starting January 1st and ending December 31th.
Back in 2012, we got the idea of a little game to motivate Hunters and OZFF Activators. Hunters get 1 point for a QSO one time band/mode. The Activators get 1 point per QSO. If more than one Activator is on the air from the same area, Hunters also get point for QSOs with the other Activator. This motivates Hunters to have more than one QSO with the same area. If the Activator starts up a new Activation, from the same area but on a new calender date, both Activator and Hunters will have points again.

Another Logsearch Update

As an update to last week’s news, I am pleased to announce further updates and improvements to the Reference Activation Statistics are now available in “new” Logsearch.

Secondly, this update extends the Top Operator reports to 100 operators (from 44).

Furthermore, this update will include the addition of awards from two further programs – which deserves an announcement of its own

We enjoyed a great afternoon on the beach near the mouth of the mighty Murray River. Finished off the afternoon with a few beers at one of the local pubs in Goolwa, and then a nice meal at Strathalbyn. Continue reading
