Save it and sent out.”
The second update for May has just been released, featuring the next steps in the P2P and GxFF awards, plus (probably most importantly) a fix to a major problem with CSV Log Uploads.
Hi ALL!
As (hopefully) the support team increases, we need to clarify the way that support requests are made.
All National Coordinators and WWFF officials are doing a very big job to collect all logs also from these stations.
2017 is the year of the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the first state reserve. 2017 is declared in Russia as the Ecology Year. The main tasks of the Ecology Year are solutions for the problems to ensure environmental safety and to preserve the unique nature of Russia. Among the many important events and projects it is planned to open 11 new and expand 2 existing protected areas (specially protected natural areas — nature reserves, national parks, etc).
The Outdoor QRP Radio Group arranged a special callsign R2017F (Russia-2017-Field), and will use it for for amateur radio activity from various specially protected natural areas. Some of those areas have RFF-references (“Russian Flora & Fauna” in the RFF and WWFF ham radio award programs).
