In November 2012, the World Wide Flora and Fauna in amateur radio program was born, when a number of dedicated portable radio operators decided to establish WWFF from the remains of WFF.

Starting with a core group of mainly European countries more and more countries across the world joined the program. Currently we have 61 countries that run there own national program within WWFF. National coordinators supported by log, directory and award managers run their programs based on WWFF rules.

Our database contains more than 37,000 references in 144 countries across the world and until now more than 21 million QSOs!

As WWFF was established in November 2012, therefore we celebrate its 12.5^th birthday with a big activity party – note: this is NOT a contest!

The WWFF 12.5^th Anniversary Activity Weekend

On Saturday the 8^th and Sunday 9^th of March, WWFF Team would like to invite all WWFF Activators and Hunters to participate in the WWFF 12.5^th Anniversary Activity Weekend.

• The party will start at 00:01 UTC on March 8^th and finish at 23:59 UTC on March 9^th.
• We hope many WWFF Activators will be on the air from many WWFF areas. We also hope many WWFF Hunters will work them.
• We recommend all Activators to use the WWFF Agenda and the WWFF Facebook Group to inform the WWFF Hunter community of their plans.
• After the activity weekend the Activators have to send in their logs to the log manager responsible for the areas they activated, as usual. The deadline for sending in logs to count towards this special event is March 16^th.
• To facilitate the special award processing we ask the activators – especially when using vanity calls or group calls – to make sure the operator field in their logs is populated with their home callsign.
• The deadline for sending in the logs is March 16^th. The log uploaders then have a week to check and upload the logs. By April 2^th we will start generating the awards based on the available data in WWFF LogSearch.
