The latest update (v0.0.11) has just been released…

The headline is (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…

Issues Addressed

This update revises the following new awards and/or award levels:

  • Issue #00020 – Add new levels LZFF-A-30 and LZFF-H-60
  • Issue #00024 – Add new levels LAFF-A-150 and LAFF-H-150
  • Issue #00035 – Add new level ONFF-H-800
  • Issue #00040 – Add new Activator Points award on WWFF page
  • Issue #00051 – Add new level P2P-1044
  • Issue #00050 – Add new award RFF-A-5 and RFF-H-11

This update also makes some changes to the Directory:

  • Issue #00041 – Fix support for VEFF Provinces and Territories
  • Issue #00044 – Show details of previous activations on individual directory pages
  • Issue #00049 – Remove status column from Directory listing

This update also addresses the following other issues:

  • Issue #00019 – Confirmation emails show correct endorsements
  • Issue #00037 – Top Operators – fix broken HTML tags
  • Issue #00042 – Add support for Year 2020
  • Issue #00043 – Fix TopOperators and ReferenceStats program selection
  • Issue #00048 – Add support for modes MSK144 (and PKT) previously missed
  • Issue #00050 – Add YEAR selection to seach-box
  • Issue #00052 – LogUpload – trap broken callsigns starting with 0 (zero) or 1 (one)
  • Issue #00053 – Performance Enhancements!

Open Issues can be found in the Issue Tracker.

Future Plans

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!

Personal Note

Development of Logsearch has to fit around family and work commitments! Unfortunately, my job means I’m on the road a lot!

Points will be awarded as follows:

  • One point for each 44 QSOs from a reference (up to a maximum of 10 points, for 440 QSOs or above) per calendar year.
  • Five points for each DX Entity where a reference has been sucessfully activated from, per calendar year.

Certificates will be issued for 11, 22, 44 and 88 points… higher levels will be determined in due course. Thanks to Francois ON5SWA for taking on the role of Award Manger.

KFF Marathon Challenge

≈ Comments Off on KFF Marathon Challenge

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:

  • Top Activator
  • Top North American Hunters
  • Top DX Hunters.

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!
