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).

R2017F will be active from May 1 to July 31, 2017 only from the territory of various specially protected natural areas (RFF-#### according to the RFF and WWFF award programs) using only QRP-power on different bands and different modes in accordance with the Rules of the “Field Flowers” outdoor QRP Marathon.

Logsearch Update – April 2017 #2

≈ Comments Off on Logsearch Update – April 2017 #2

An second Logsearch update of the month has just been released, featuring a number of new awards:

  • The relaunch of the GxFF awards
  • The addition of the 2017 YUFF awards
  • The launch of a new annual PAFF award for Activators

GxFF Awards

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Adrian M0PAI as the new GxFF Awards Manager.

Unfortunately, the artwork of the previous awards was not handed over by the departing award manager; as such, Adrian has designed a new set of awards.

We have decided to award them in steps of 11, meaning anyone who has one of the ‘old’ awards can claim the new ones… they will be released progressively.

PAFF Annual Award

As an experiment, to (try to) encourage activators to re-activate references, Lars PH0NO has created an award for PAFF activations in 2017.  This will be awarded for 4, 11 and 22 references activated.

‘Apply For Awards’

This update also automates the verifying of profiles, to enable the ‘Apply for Awards’ capability… previously, this had to be assigned manually.

To gain ‘Apply for Awards’, your profile must include your first name, and a primary callsign – note, while your username is usually your primary callsign, this is not necessarily the case, and teh callsign MUST be populated by you the user!

Update 2017-04-24: a bug in calculating the Activator QSO count (for the WARD-A award) has been fixed.

An update to Logsearch has just been released, featuring a number of new awards:

  • The launch of the South American Continental Award, CFF:SA
  • The relaunch of the World Amateur Radio Day awards, just in time for WARD 2017
  • The next step in the P2P awards (P2P-A-308)
  • The next step in OMFF awards (OMFF-A-100 and OMFF-H-100)

This update also fixes a number of problems with the confirmation of Park to Park contacts, which has resulted in a further 1,000 P2Ps being confirmed. Unfortunately, nearly 7,000 remain unconfirmed – mostly due to the lack of the corresponding logs 🙁

Finally, this update addresses a number of minor issues:

  • Further layout improvements in the References search results
  • Further layout improvements in the Directory Stats tables
  • A number of minor bugs
