Preliminary analysis for the 2017 VKFF Activation Weekend shows.....

50 x different amateurs took part (including 2 clubs).

80 x different parks were activated (in all States & Territories, incl VK8).

Once all of the logs have gone in, Paul VK5PAS, will prepare a final report on the weekend and start issuing participation certificates for the Activators.

For those that did not register, but did go out to activate a park, please drop Paul a quick email, so that he can send out an Activator's participation certificate.

Thanks to everyone who took part, either as an Activator or a Hunter.

Thanks to all of the State/Territory reps, for uploading a lot of logs (and more to come).

If you’ve got logs to send in, a reminder that all VKFF logs need to be sent to the relevant State/Territory VKFF representatives, who in turn will upload the log/s. Links in this story at VK6.net

WWFF has a newly developed Agenda – links from VK6.net

If you do intend to activate a park, please consider placing an alert on the Agenda, along with other excellent platforms such as parks’n’peaks. It will alert a lot of park hunters of your intentions, and will no doubt increase the number of callers you receive.

One of the advantages of the new Agenda, is that alerts appear immediately, and do not require Admin approval. Adding your alert is quick and easy.

In preparation for this story, I also headed to the website of Paul, VK5PAS. We also know Paul, VKFF National-cordinator lives and breathes WWFF, and he and his XYL Maria VK5FMAZ are at it again, on a mega road trip of national parks. Head to VK5PAS.org and take a read – a quick warning – you may be there for a while – it’s pretty spectacular. A great way to get out and enjoy our hobby.
