WHAT IS WWFF LOGSEARCH?
WWFF Logsearch is the electronic database for the World Wide Flora Fauna (WWFF) program. Activator logs are uploaded in Australia to Logsearch by the State/Territory representatives. Through Logsearch, WWFF Activators and Hunters can easily view their progress in the WWFF program and apply for awards online.
HOW DO I ACCESS WWFF LOGSEARCH?
You first need to register to be able to use Logsearch. Please see the section below to guide you through the registration process.

WHY ARE ACTIVATOR LOGS SENT TO THE STATE REPS? WHY CAN'T I UPLOAD MY OWN LOG?
Unlike some other programs where activators and hunters/chasers are required to data-enter their logs or contacts into a database, VKFF activators provide their logs to the relevant State/Territory representative. They, in turn, upload the activator's log. WWFF Hunters do not have to provide any logs and are not required to have any contacts uploaded.
This is to ensure accuracy in the Logsearch database. If a log is uploaded, and no errors are detected, the State/Territory rep will receive an acknowledgement that all the QSOs were valid. If there is an error in the log, the VKFF State/Territory rep will receive an error report. You will then receive an email requesting that you make the corrections in your log and resubmit.

WHY IS THERE A RED CROSS IN THE 'VALIDITY' COLUMN & WHAT DO THE GREEN TICKS MEAN?
The red cross indicates that you have not yet reached the required threshold of 44 QSOs for the global WWFF program. The Log Search system still recognises these QSOs towards your VKFF awards. The figures will become black, and you will see a green tick in the 'Valid' column once you have attained 44 QSOs.
The single green tick indicates that you have made 44 or more QSOs from the reference area, thus qualifying for the WWFF global activator awards.
The 2 green ticks indicate that you have had 200 or more QSOs from that particular reference, thereby qualifying for the YOFF Activator Award, which is issued by the Romanian (YOFF) National program.
