My involvement with WWFF
My very first WWFF contact was with Kevin VK0KEV on Macquarie Island VKFF-0566 on 9th July 2011. This contact was on 80m. My first European WWFF contact was with SN0WFF in Poland in SPFF-0038 on 17th September 2011.
In March 2013, I commenced the VKFF program here in Australia.
I have undertaken park activations in Australia (VK1, VK2, VK3, VK5, & VK6), Norfolk Island (VK9), Belgium, & Germany.
As of June 2017 I have worked activators in 42 different DXCC entities.

Certificate of Excellence awarded by the WWFF Committee
In May 2015 I was presented with the inaugural Certificate of Excellence from the WWFF Committee. The certificate had made its way all the way from Romania, courtesy of Pit YO3JW, and was presented to me at a meeting of my local radio Club, the Adelaide Hills Amateur Radio Society (AHARS) by the club President, Barry VK5BW.
The certificate was issued for my services to the WWFF program.
