Noticed I've now got 100 countries confirmed in the QRZ Logbook award for 17m. Another Gold star!
I guess 20m is the next band to aim at 100. Although with only 83 it will take a while to achieve.
A blog about Amateur Radio callsign VK1DI Ian's activities on the Amateur Radio bands, mostly Summits On the Air (SOTA) and World Wide Flora and Fauna (WWFF) portable activities.

Another award from the European Ros Club, worked 2 stations in Antarctica. From working RI1ANE and VK0HZ.
After working Laos on 10m I managed to make 100 countries confirmed on qrz logbook, got a gold star...
So 100 contries on 30m and 10m confirmed. Next most likely will be 17m with 98 confirmed.
On WWFF Logsearch noticed I had qualified for WWFF Activator Points 11 points award. A point is granted for reaching 44 QSOs in a park in the same calendar year. This can be done from multiple park visits in the same year and the park can be reactivated in the next year. This is good as I have activated all the close by parks already.
National Threatened Species Day was on the 7th September 2024. An award is available for activating a VKFF park on this day. Headed out to a local park, VKFF-0839 Dunlop Grasslands Nature Reserve, activated okay with 38 contacts and 10 P2Ps. Award follows:
For National Wattle Day headed off to my local WWFF park, The Pinnacle Nature Reserve VKFF-0862. Activated several times but still good for grabbing P2Ps.
Parked off Springvale Dr in Weetangerra near the water tanks. Sign for the park.
