≈ Comments Off on Abuse of WWFF reference numbering

WWFF is aware of the abuse of the WWFF reference numbering. In some countries a parallel program is setup using the WWFF numbering, even adding reference numbers that are NOT WWFF valid !

As a reminder, the valid WWFF references are in The WWFF directory. If you doubt about a reference, just check the directory. The code behind the WWFF directory is changed in that way that it’s real time up-to-date.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Carl 2E0HPI as the new GxFF Coordinator, replacing Andrew M0YMA.

Thank you Carl for taking on this role.

The GxFF program covers:

  • the United Kingdom (G, GI, GM and GW)
  • the Crown Dependencies (GD, GJ and GU)
  • the British Overseas Territories (VP2, VP5, VP6, VP8, VP9, ZB2, ZD and ZF).

Carl, together with Adie M0PAI, have a number of ideas for developing the GxFF program, and a refreshed GxFF website will be launched in due course.

The first update for November has just been released, featuring:

  • The next steps for a number of awards:

    • P2P (Park-To-Park) (level 644)
    • HBFF-A/H (100 references)
    • LAFF-A/H (10 references)
    • LUFF-A/H (12 references for South American stations, 6 references for DX)
    • Z3FF-A/H (10 references)

  • The support of the new program: CXFF
  • Some minor tweaks and fixes.

Note

I am more than happy to add new awards (both National and Special) but please:

  1. Discuss the qualification with me before hand – what may appear a simple qualification may not be so easy to code!
  2. Give me more than a couple of day’s notice!

Development of Logsearch has to fit around family and work commitments!

6ts September 2017. After really short drive I arrived to LZFF-0135 Dolni Bogrov – Kazichene which is situated next to Ring road of Sofia and close to Sofia Airport. So this was 2-in-1 activation – LZFF and LZ Air Field Award (if you are interested visit http://www.iafa.su). Conditions varied from excellent to nil, but finally I made 110 QSOs, including 3 P2P.

FT-857 in the car, SPX-300 mounted on the car roof and my favorite – SOTAbeams Linked dipole for 20/40 meters

On 2nd September LZ2HT using special callsign LZ02WFF activated LZFF-0133 Gorni Dabnik – Telish (new one). Total 128 QSOs, 3 P2P. Could be little bit more, but I had some nap after night shift, so my departure delayed about one hour 😉
