WHY GET INVOLVED WITH VKFF?
Have a high noise floor at home ?
Plasma TV, switch mode power supplies, solar inverters all create noise. In most parks you will find that you have a zero noise floor and will be able to hear and work stations that are most likely impossible from your home. |
Pile ups and DX.
If you enjoy working pile-ups and DX, then WWFF/VKFF certainly offers that. The program is exceptionally popular in Europe and as a VK in a park you will attract a lot of attention. |
Enjoy travelling to beautiful locations around Australia.
The WWFF/VKFF program can take you to beautiful locations around Australia. 
Combine other interests.
Whilst activating parks you can combine other interests, e.g. bushwalking, 4WDing, caravanning, photography. |
Collecting 'wallpaper'.
There are a multitude of beautiful certificates to collect in the VKFF program. 
Home brew experimentation.
An area where there is a zero noise floor is a great place to test your home brew transceiver or antenna. |
