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/
So what modes and bands were used in the activity month of August? SSB remains the most popular option in the field and not surprisingly 20m and 40m are the bands that brought the most QSOs.
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:
The WWFF statistics for July are out. HF conditions in the northern hemisphere’s summer have been tough, so 20m and 40m were the “money bands”. Notable is that there were less QSOs on 10m than on 2m!
The 6m/VHF/UHF stats show a small uptick in July. Can somebody chime in on possible sporadic-E QSOs having been made on 2m?
Another month is gone, and the June WWFF statistics are out! Steady going, with 5 national programs (KFF, SPFF, VKFF, VEFF, OHFF) exceeding 10,000 QSOs.
It’s summer in the northern hemisphere, so the numbers from 6m and up are interesting. A slight increase in 6m QSOs in June as compared to April/May; here are the numbers for April-June for your reference.
