A recurring question is: How are P2P contacts confirmed.
It’s quite simple…
- Both logs must be uploaded – we will call them Log A and Log B
- A number of fields must match…
- Callsigns:
- The STATION call of Log A must match the HUNTER call of Log B
- The STATION call of Log B must match the HUNTER call of Log A
- Note: Callsigns are compared after stripping all prefixes and suffixes
- References:
- The HUNTER REFERENCE in Log A must match the ACTIVATOR REFERENCE in Log B
- The HUNTER REFERENCE in Log B must match the ACTIVATOR REFERENCE in Log A, or be empty
- Note: Thus only one log needs to claim the P2P for BOTH to be confirmed (if there is a match)
- The BAND, MODE and DATE of both Logs must match
- The TIME field is only used as a tie-breaker:
- If there is only one matching QSO, then it is confirmed without further ado
- If there is more than one matching QSO, then TIME must match (± 5 minutes)
- Callsigns:
Good morning .
I have made up to 172 contacts from a park to a park and of which only 127 are confirmed.
Several fellow activists do not write the communication contacts between us (see the list with my own badge).
Is there a time-limit for confirmation?

Ask if there is a list of the different countries participating in this program so that we can see the different scores as hunters and activators.
I see that the page (TOP OPERATORS ) has big activators but it has only the first 100 stations for the other stations we do not have the chance to see where we are.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the clarifications.
By HUNTER REFERENCE do you mean the adif field ?

Seems the editor does’t like left and right carats. The adif field in question is SIG_INFO.
Hi
Please look to: https://wwff.co/rules-faq/confirming-and-sending-log/
Read it and try to follow instruction!
I have also a question!
There is wrote: MY_SIG should specify “WWFF” and SIG should specify “WWFF”
What you understand as “WWFF” only WWFF or the complete name of that specific reference you are activate or worked reference for P2P? Why you need it?
Next line is an example
Is it OK?

“(” and “)” accepted by editor so I use it to replace the original left and right characters in log (Shift “,” and shift “.”)
Sorry for this msg again!

If I read the message from Andrew correctly, there is No need anymore to add My_SIG_INFO and Sig_info as adif fields in our logs.
No, Luk.
You need a HUNTER REFERENCE in at least one of the logs – call it log A. Log B does not have to have the HUNTER REFERENCE (as long as log A has one).
This means you must put in a SIG/SIG_INFO to indicate the HUNTER REFERENCE in your activator log. If you don’t, you must rely on the other activator to do it.
