TOP VKFF ACTIVATOR.
Each year the VKFF Team presents certificates to the Top 10 VKFF Activators (based on qualifying the park for VKFF with 10 contacts). 

The certificate/s were first introduced in 2013, the year that the WWFF program commenced in Australia.

Initially the certificate was issued each year to the amateur who activated the most number of VKFF references during the year. 

In 2020 the VKFF Team commenced issuing certificates to the Top 10 VKFF Hunters.

The current VKFF Top Activator certificate features a Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo (photograph by VK5PAS).

Please note that on Logsearch in the Top Activator Classification, the list produced is based on WWFF qualification.  In other words, 44 QSOs per activation.  You will see two figures, one of those in brackets.  The number on the right in brackets indicates how many activations in total.  The number on the left indicates the number of activations which qualified with 44 QSOs for the global WWFF program.
