ALL ABOUT WWFF LOGSEARCH.
WHAT IS WWFF LOGSEARCH?
Logsearch is the electronic database for the World Wide Flora Fauna (WWFF) program. Activator logs are uploaded to Logsearch by National co-ordinators.
Through Logsearch, WWFF Activators and Hunters can easily view their progress in the WWFF program, and apply for awards on-line.

Once registered, you can access Logsearch from the main wwff.co page. Either by clicking on 'Logsearch' in the top toolbar, or by clicking on 'Logsearch' in the side toolbar.
WHY ARE ACTIVATOR LOGS SENT TO THE STATE REPS? WHY CAN'T I UPLOAD MY OWN LOG?
Unlike SOTA, where activators and chasers are required to data enter their logs or contacts into the SOTA database, WWFF activators provide their logs to the relevant National co-ordinator, who in turn uploads the activator log. WWFF Hunters do not have to provide any logs and are not required to have any contacts uploaded.
This is to ensure accuracy in the Logsearch database. If a log is uploaded, and no errors are detected, the co-ordinator will receive acknowledgement that all the QSOs were valid (see screen shot below)....

WHAT IF THERE IS AN ERROR IN YOUR ACTIVATOR LOG?
If any errors are detected in the file after processing, the co-ordinator will receive a report showing the errors (see screen shot below). The activator will subsequently receive an email from the co-ordinator, requesting that the errors be fixed and a new log provided.
WHY ARE THE FIGURES IN THE 'QSOS' AND 'HUNTERS'COLUMNS IN RED? AND WHY IS THERE A RED CROSS IN THE 'VALID' COLUMN?
Don't worry. This is normal. The red figures and the red cross indicate that you have not yet reached the required threshold of 44 QSOs for the global WWFF program. The Log Search system still recognises these QSOs towards your VKFF awards. The figures will become black and you will see a green tick in the 'Valid' column once you have attained 44 QSOs.
I WANT TO ADD ANOTHER CALLSIGN TO MY PROFILE. CAN I DO THIS?
Yes, you can add call signs to your profile by clicking on 'Edit Profile' in the top right hand corner, and then adding the call in the callsigns section of the 'Information' box. Please ensure that you use a comma to separate the calls.
WHAT IF I UPGRADE MY CALL AND I WANT TO START FRESH HUNTING PARKS?
If you have updated your callsign and would like to start fresh again hunting parks with your new call sign......simply send an email to Paul VK5PAS, who in turn will email the Log Search administrator. Logsearch Admin will update your User name to your current call sign. Although you can edit certain information in Log Search, you are unable to change your User name.
Please do not send emails direct to the Logsearch Admin. In the first instance, please send an email to VK5PAS.
