Hi all,
​

Whilst I am away Mark VK4SMA will be handling all logs from VK5 park activators and processing VKFF awards for South Australian applicants.

Mark will also be processing awards for overseas applicants.
Mark's email for VK5 logs is vk4sma@optusnet.com.au
Thank you Mark.

Special event awards, e.g. NPWS, National Wattle Day, Boomerang, will have to wait until I get back.

Jonathan VK7JON will be updating this Facebook group and the Groups.io page with the latest VKFF award recipients.

Thank you Jonathan.

I will update the WWFF Australia website when I get back in early October.

73 and '44',

National Wattle Day 2019

8/25/2019

0 Comments

 
Hi all,
 
Don't forget National Wattle Day which is coming up on 1st September 2019.
 
A special certificate will be on offer to those who activate a VKFF reference on National Wattle Day.
 
Following the day, please drop me an email to let me know that you activated a park on that day.
 
Sadly I won't be available on the day.
 
I suspect this will be a popular day and will be a great opportunity of logging numerous Park to Park contacts.
