” The WWFF August Activity Month “

From Thursday the 1st of August to Friday 31st of August 2024.

WWFF Team would like to invite all WWFF Activators and Hunters to participate in “The WWFF August Activity Month”.

  • The activity event will start at 00:00 UTC on August 1st and finish at 23:59 UTC on August 31st.
  • WWFF Activators are invited to be active from WWFF areas as much as possible.
  • A big opportunity for our hunters to work new WWFF areas and increase their score.
  • We recommend all Activators to use the WWFF Agenda and the WWFF Facebook Group to inform the WWFF Hunter community of their plans.
  • After each activity the Activators have to send in their logs to the log manager responsible for the areas they activated.
  • The deadline for sending in logs to count towards this special event is September 9th.
  • To facilitate the special award processing we ask the activators – especially when using vanity /special event calls or group calls – to make sure the operator field in their logs is populated with their home callsign.
  • The log uploaders then have a week to check and upload the logs. By September 16th we will start generating the awards and rank lists based on the available data in WWFF LogSearch.

Participation Awards

On September 16th WWFF will publish awards for Activators and Hunters.

ACTIVATOR PARTICIPATION AWARD

For activating WWFF references during “The WWFF August Activity Month “ Activators should accumulate at least 220 QSOs. An extra award is available when an activator makes 1000+ QSOs from valid WWFF reference(s).


Activator award (220+)
Activator 1K award (1000+)

HUNTER AWARDS

For hunting WWFF references during The WWFF August Activity Month Hunters should accumulate at least 22 references. After that base level, the first star is at 44 references with a new star for each 44 references more.


Hunter basic (22)
Hunter 1 star (44)

Hunter 2 star (88)
Hunter 3 star (132)

Hunter 4 star (176)
Hunter 5 star (220)

Each QSO counts towards this special award, except for dupes on same day/same band/same mode/same reference – otherwise hunt them as much as you can!

Changes to WWFF Awards

Currently:

  • the WWFF Activator award is issued in steps of 11.
  • the WWFF Hunter awards (Hunter, Points and Park to Park) are issued in steps of 100, above 444 references/points.

The Award Manager is issuing approximately 400 awards each month!  After careful consideration, to reduce the Award Manager’s workload, these will be revised as follows:

The WWFF Activator award will be issued in the following steps:

  • Below 440 references, in steps of 11 (unchanged)
  • Between 444 and 862, in steps of 22
  • Above 888, in steps of 44

Note: Only 19 activators have exceeded 444 references…

The WWFF Hunter award, Park-to-Park award and the Points award will be issued in the following steps:

  • Entry level at 10 references worked or points earned (unchanged)
  • Between 44 and 444, in steps of 44 (unchanged)
  • Between 444 and 4444, in steps of 100 (unchanged)
  • Between 4,444 and 8,444, in steps of 200
  • Above 8,444, in steps of 400

Any awards already issued remain valid; any pending awards will be issued if valid.

I trust all Activators and Hunters will support these revisions!

Logsearch and Annual Awards

21 Sunday Jan 2024

≈ Comments Off on Logsearch and Annual Awards

I’ve just discovered (and have a fix ready for) a feature of Logsearch whereby the Year for annual awards was not being stored correctly.
This meant that award managers may mistake an annual application for an all-time one; it may also mean that duplicate applications may be possible.

This has been patched on the server while a fuller fix will be released shortly – in the meanwhile, take care with annual applications.

Personal Note

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

Logsearch v1.00.00

≈ Comments Off on Logsearch v1.00.00

A major update to Logsearch has just been released… and this is now officially v1.00.00 rather than the ongoing series of updates.

This update includes (as always) the addition of a number of new awards and award steps, and addresses a number of small issues, plus a bit of tidying up, and code rationalisation – many of which were already informally released.

Thanks in particular to Lars PHONO and Edwin for their support.
