I have been a volunteer with MSF for 13 years and help with their telecommunications. I answer questions, find solutions, do training and some projects. Most of the telecom work is done in the field by local ITC specialists, and we give an annual course to those who wish; one week of informatics and a week of telecommunications. This course will be held in Entebbe, Uganda for several years.

Since obtaining an Uganda license is not a problem, I visited the ministery of telecommunication in Kampala in 2015 and was helped to get the call 5X8C

Just before I left in 2016, I discovered that part of site in Entebbe where we give courses was within a Wildlife Resort and I asked for the WWFF reference. Within a few days, I received the good news that it was reference 5XFF-0011 and I was allowed to activate it! Continue reading →

9w2ndq_wwff I would like to inform WWFF hunters that from 3-7 december 2016 my team SELANGORDX will depart form Kuala Lumpur city for dxpedition to Royal Belum 9MFF-0030

Thank you for your cooperation during my dxpedition. I hope all WWFF fan will be alert formy CQ from Royal Belum..

The Royal Belum State Park is a huge park in the northern parts of Peninsular Malaysia. It is part of the even bigger Belum-Temengor Forest Complex (BTFC) that is shared with Thailand. Together with Taman Negara National Park it is one of the oldest rainforest in the world, going back over 130 million years. Belum is a state park and not an official National Park. This means that local government is allowed to use the area for production forest and it is open for future development. There are efforts to get the government to recognize Belum as a national park, though up till now only a part of the huge forest is conserved and protected as state park. Belum has the potential to become one of Malaysia’s premier eco-tourism destinations.

Thank You, 73 Nazari 9W2NDQ

Correct callsign and license

eQSL

Just a reminder that when activating a WWFF reference, you as operator are responsible to follow the rules of your (limited) license. When in a foreign country activating, always check the local rules for your license. It may be different from your home country rules! WWFF is no Radio Police, WWFF is NOT checking if you activated LEGAL or not !

Also about the use of /P /M /MM /A is a lot of confusion. Most countries have clear rules in their Ham licenses when to use /P /M it or not. To avoid confusion it’s important to repeat your call often, and ALWAYS USE THE SAME CALLSIGN. Fill in the WWFF AGENDA with your correct activation data, it helps a lot to spread the correct information among WWFF hunters. For sending QSL (digi or paper) use the SAME CALL AS USED ON AIR. Digital logbooks give an error when downloading wrong data !

WWFF has now a partnership with eQSL. How to eQSL correct from /P is explained here : Correct eQSL for portable operations
