Team GxFF
09 Wednesday Mar 2022
Due to family commitments, Mike (M0MCY) and Denise (2E0LSO) will be stepping down from their roles on Team GxFF.
The rest of Team GxFF (and I’m sure all GxFF award recipients and event participants) would like to thank them for their help and support in helping grow the GxFF program and raising its profile. The last year has seen an expanded set of awards and successful Autumn and Brass Monkey events all due in no small part to their hard work.
Thanks once again go to Mike M0MCY and Denise 2E0LSO for their contribution to GxFF in those two roles over the last year.
Team GxFF are delighted to welcome Ray M0DHP as Awards Manager and Bob M0BOB as Events Organiser, both are active members of the GxFF community and will be a great addition to the team.
Please be patient as we transition the team, especially in the issuing of awards.

It still hasn’t happened, but in the near future, all CTFF references, activations and QSOs/P2Ps in The Azores will be migrated to a new CUFF series. This has been promised for a while (including in the last updates), but time has been in short supply!
