The latest update (v0.0.12) has just been released…
The headline is that FINALLY the WWFF Points Award is now available… plus (once again) the addition of a number of new awards and award steps, plus a bit of tidying up.
Note: some of these have been pre-released…
This update revises the following new awards and/or award levels:
Linked to these, some fixes to Award GCRs:
This update also addresses the following other issues:
Open Issues can be found in the Issue Tracker.
Further work is ongoing… especially to try and address the lack of Club Station reports in “Top Operators”… I thought I had the answer, but it made the queries too complicated and affected server performance.
It still hasn’t happened, but in the near future, all CTFF references, activations and QSOs/P2Ps in The Azores will be migrated to a new CUFF series. This has been promised for a while (including in the last updates), but time has been in short supply!
Development of Logsearch has to fit around family and work commitments! Unfortunately, my job means I’m on the road a lot!
Any problems, or new feature requests, via the Help Desk Forum please.

Hello, just for everybody to remind on this post which was already sent long time ago. I get more and more corrections of logs which are very time-consuming. Also everybody should learn in his ham-exam that a log is a document. So please take care.
If you check your log before you sent it, it costs you 5 minutes time.
If I have to change it later in the database with around 14 mio entries it costs me much more time.

<here the post again>
Can I remind all Activators and National Coordinators to please CHECK YOUR LOGS before uploading them to Logsearch.
I fully accept that mistakes will be made with transcribing or entering individual QSOs, and corrections can be made. However, there is no excuse for any of the following:
These simply need the Activator to do a sanity-check before submitting to the National Coordinator, and for the NC to do a very quick check before uploading.

Beginning January 1, 2020 KFF will sponsor a KFF Marathon Challenge – a year long activity wherein we will recognize the achievers who work, or activate, the most KFF References during the calendar year.
There will be categories for:
The effect of the Marathon Challenge will be that on January 1st, for the sake of the Challenge, everybody’s KFF counter will reset to zero, and all KFF References will be “New” again.
This opens a whole new world for Hunters and Activators alike… Will your call be on the January Leaderboard?
Note: For the avoidance of any doubt, the existing KFF awards continue as well!
