- 'activated' means 10 QSOs required per activation
- the UTC rollover does not count for this award as a separate activation. An activation must be separated by a 24-hour period
- the UTC rollover rule does not apply for the Boomerang Hunter award, only the Boomerang Activator
- the 10 QSOs as an activator must be made on a specific date. Not spread across the UTC rollover
- the award is retrospective, so start adding up parks from your old logs
- the award is not yet supported by WWFF Logsearch. Please send all applications (spreadsheet) to the Boomerang Award Manager VK3OAK via [email protected] or [email protected]
- as this award is manually checked (which takes some time), PLEASE ensure that you have vetted your application - NO UTC rollovers, for activations there MUST be 10 QSOs.
