In my first one and a half week as EU Coordinator, I have seen some confusion about adding new areas to the WWFF program. We can´t run a global Flora Fauna Program without rules. From my point of view, we have a few simple rules in World Wide Flora Fauna. Most of them from the very beginning. See: GLOBAL RULES. In this Article I will try to sort out a few issues and questions.

1.When does an area qualify for a new number ?

Most of the areas qualifying for WWFF can be found at https://www.protectedplanet.net/

Not all areas in Protected Planet can be used, it has to be in one of the following Categories :

  • IUCN (Catagoty Ia to VI)

  • Natura2000

  • Natural World Heritage Sites

  • Biosphere Reserves

  • Ramsar

  • Marine Protected Areas

Each National Program can adopt up to 200 new references per calendar year.

The National Coordinator in each Contry have the mandate to decide which areas.

Activators have to apply proposals for new refs to their National Coordinator. Continue reading →

The QSO between EA3RKM and EA1BRL was the 7.000.000th QSO uploaded to the WWFF LogSearch database. Both stations received a nice award for this milestone in the WWFF program.

As you all have noticed we have migrated to a new website developed by Danny ON4VT. We hope you like it (we do :). Danny has joined the WWFF team earlier this year to take care of more than just our web presence. Danny will look after our public relations – within the WWFF community and in the world outside of WWFF. We hope that with the help of Danny we can expand WWFF and increase activity especially in parts of the world where there is little today.

There is another change in the WWFF team: after almost 3 years I have decided to step down as chairman of WWFF, because of other commitments outside the hobby. We are lucky to have found a good successor in Luk ON4BB. Luk will take over as WWFF chairman as of now. I wish him luck and fun in his new position. He has a good team to work with.

Looking back I am proud of what all involved WWFF enthusiasts have accomplished since the rough start we had with this program at the end of 2012. I am confident that – with the help of all these dedicated people – the program will continu to grow in size and importance in the ham radio community.

Enjoy the program – make nature your shack!
