I had a fun time activating here. I sat down and started calling CQ and the first person to pop in was K7CAR, Kent! We chatted a bit about KFF/POTA and he’s going to think about joining. He must have called N7SMT, because David stopped by shortly after. It was great to have 2 people I’d chased come by for a visit! Thanks for spotting me too! I got several folks asking if this was a continuation of NPOTA and I explained about POTA and WWFF and sent them to our web page. One was very happy I was there and will get signed up and chase WWFF this year. He did a healthy 400+ NPOTA chases last year. Continue reading →

Announcing the new KFF-States Award

21 Wednesday Dec 2016

Posted by in Awards, WWFF board news

I am pleased to announce that we have changed the name of the “USACFF” award to the “KFF-States” award. The name was changed because we wanted to have a “worked all states” type of award, but of course, the United States is not its own continent, and part of North America.

We are only opening up the first wave of 7 states worked first so that stations can claim the first award, and we will be opening up more states in the coming weeks in these waves: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and finally, all 50 states. To claim the 7 state award, please visit Logsearch after you have registered, and click on the appropriate button to apply.

If you already have been granted a “USACFF” award, please go back to apply for the new KFF-States version. If you wish to retain your original serial (e.g. 001), I can issue it as (001P) to acknowledge the prototype.

Thanks, 73 and 44 … Jason – W3AAX

Hi WWFF hunters,

We successfully installed the antennas 1000hrs UTC on the 10th and started dxing. The band condition was not good at all but because of the location the hf bands were very noisy free compared to our homes in the town so we were managed to work 650+ stations on 10 – 40M. although we had 80M and 160M antennas up we could not make any contact. As you can see from the photos it was mostly not dxing but having a good time with fellow hams!!
On the 12th night there was a mini cyclone in the area and there was a power cut due to a fallen tree, lo tof time was lost. We did not take a generator as generators are not allowed in the forest reserve.
