TOP VKFF HUNTER.

Each year the VKFF Team presents certificates to the Top 10 VKFF Hunters. 

Initially the certificate was issued each year to the amateur who worked the most number of VKFF references during the year.  In 2020 the VKFF Team commenced issuing certificates to the Top 10 VKFF Hunters.

The certificate, which features the Flinders Ranges National Park (taken by VK5PAS), was first issued in 2013.
