WWFF Monthly Pulse – July 2025

Compiled by Kim OH6KZP

The WWFF statistics for July are out. HF conditions in the northern hemisphere’s summer have been tough, so 20m and 40m were the “money bands”. Notable is that there were less QSOs on 10m than on 2m! 😎

The 6m/VHF/UHF stats show a small uptick in July. Can somebody chime in on possible sporadic-E QSOs having been made on 2m?

Compiled by Kim, OH6KZP.

Another month is gone, and the June WWFF statistics are out! Steady going, with 5 national programs (KFF, SPFF, VKFF, VEFF, OHFF) exceeding 10,000 QSOs.

It’s summer in the northern hemisphere, so the numbers from 6m and up are interesting. A slight increase in 6m QSOs in June as compared to April/May; here are the numbers for April-June for your reference.

WWFF Monthly Pulse – May 2025

WWFF stats now in for May, after a one-month wait for log uploads. Similar activity levels as in April.

There was a comment last time by Rumen LZ2AF about QSO numbers on 6m/VHF/UHF being interesting for the summer months, due to the presence of sporadic-E conditions (6m -> 2m).

So in preparation for June/July/August, here are the numbers for April and May as comparison:
