WWFF Monthly Pulse – May 2025
06 Sunday Jul 2025
Posted in News
WWFF stats now in for May, after a one-month wait for log uploads. Similar activity levels as in April.
There was a comment last time by Rumen LZ2AF about QSO numbers on 6m/VHF/UHF being interesting for the summer months, due to the presence of sporadic-E conditions (6m -> 2m).
So in preparation for June/July/August, here are the numbers for April and May as comparison:
| Band | April | May |
| 6 meter | 352 | 392 |
| 4 meter | 1 | 0 |
| 2 meter | 1073 | 1383 |
| 70 cm | 545 | 870 |

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 21st.
- 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 untill September 21tha to check and upload the logs. By September 30th we will start generating the awards and rank lists based on the available data in WWFF LogSearch.
Participation Awards
On September 30th 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).

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.
Awards sample from 2024 below
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!

Announcing the “Meet the WWFF’ers” post series

≈ Comments Off on Announcing the “Meet the WWFF’ers” post series
Many callsigns familiar to WWFF’ers are heard activating and hunting on the bands daily. Likewise, WWFF national program volunteers keep the local wheels turning and churn out new ideas to develop their programs.
We would like to do a series of brief WWFF blog & Facebook posts that help us get to know each other better, and that enable the sharing of ideas between individuals and national programs. Posts such as “Meet Karl, DL1ABC”, or “Meet the Canadians: VEFF”.
==> We are now looking for one or more volunteer “editors” to manage this recurring post series (for example once a week). As a foundation, we plan to have a battery of questions that can be distributed to selected individuals/programs so as to help in composing the brief posts.
Interested?? Please e-mail OH6KZP at kim.ostman@gmail.com. Thanks!
