Family life has been very hectic, so the latest WWFF Monthly Pulse has been delayed a bit. But the wait has been worth it, as I can now finally offer you the October 2025 statistics for perusal.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2026 to all activators and hunters!
Here are the September 2025 WWFF statistics. Steady going with over 150,000 QSOs in activator logs.
Six national programs reported over 10,000 QSOs, with OZFF in Denmark putting in an exceptionally strong effort, fb.

Here is another view of the August 2025 WWFF statistics, formatted in the regular “Monthly Pulse” template. The database extract is from early October, with “late” logs explaining the difference in QSOs compared to the material in the link above. Over 200,000 QSOs, so a very active month!
The numbers below complete the 6m/VHF/UHF statistics for the nothern hemisphere’s summer season of 2025. Did anybody experience sporadic-E openings on 2m?
We all enjoyed a successful August activity month this year. In this one month almost 200,000 WWFF QSOs were made between 614 activators and 37,000 hunters. A big increase from the activity we saw in the August activity of 2024.
Around 2400 awards are available for the activators and hunters that managed to meet the criteria. Awards can be checked and downloaded here: https://wwff.co/awards/wwff-anniversary-awards/

And where did the activations take place around the globe? We saw a truly world wide activity in August – only the penguins did not join in. Based on the amount of QSOs made by the activators the breakdown per continent is as follows:
