From the WWFF team some awards for activating and hunting parks in August 2025. For Activating parks over 220 QSOs basic award. 



The next level of the Activator award was for 1000 QSOs in August, I only made 495 so not even halfway there.

For hunting parks in August, for 22 parks the basic award


For hunting 44 parks a 1-star award


For the 2-star award needed 88 parks. I got to 63 parks in August so some way to go for the next level.

2025 National Threatened Species Day Award

For activating a VKFF park on 7th September 2025 I could apply for the National Threatened Species Day Award. The park I activated was the Pinnacle Nature Reserve VKFF-0862. Just down the road from home. Managed 35 contacts and 2 P2Ps. Thought might have been more activity, but with also being Father's Day not many were on air. Award from VK5PAS, Paul. Thanks.

Wongarbon Nature Reserve VKFF-2025

After activating Beni Nature Reseve near Dubbo it was only a short drive to my next park, Wongarbon Nature Reserve VKFF-2025. Sign for the park.


There was a locked gate on the nearby road into the reserve, however a gap for walkers was there. Carried my gear in and set up using the sign for squid pole support


Radio on the table. The rain I had at the last park had stopped for the moment.


Got on 40m. Able to spot easily. Worked

VK3PF/VK3KAI, VK3WSG, VK3SMW, VK3CEO, VK3SG, VK2IO/VK2GEZ, VK2VW/VK2HFI/VK2AKA/VK2BUG, VK5IS, VK2ETI/VK2AIT/VK2AIQ, VK3BEL/VK3BEB, VK3CA, VK2AGU, VK5WU, VK2AHP, VK2BYO, VK2KEV

Went to 30m. Started with a P2P with

VK5DG in VKFF-1128 Yulte Conservation Park

VK3PF/VK3KAI, VK5WU, VK5IS.

It had started raining again so quickly packed up, headed to Wellington for lunch, then drove home to Canberra. Rained on and off for the rest of the day.
