VKFF Hunter Honour Roll 425 Award

Noticed on WWFF Logsearch that I've reached 425 VKFF references hunted, so able to apply for the award.

For interest did a breakdown of the number of parks hunted per call area. Using ParksnPeaks to get the total number of parks in each call area, able to work out the % of parks hunted so far.

VK1 I've got 42%, There are not many park activators here, so this figure is quite good,,,

VK2 23%, still heaps of parks to chase. Its a big state.

VK3 92%, in fact only missing 9 parks to get them all! Lots of activators in a small state helps.

VK4 10%. A vast state with few activators. Many more left...distance also makes it hard to hear them

VK5 33% A fairly active lot of park activators. Some parks are remote and won't be heard often

VK6 8% A vast state with a low amateur population. Also a long way away so some park activations are not workable, especially on 40m in the daytime.

VK7 30% A small state with not many parks, but also not many activators.

VK8 0% Yet to hear a VK8 park... A big area with a low population, and a long way away from me.

VK9 14% Not many parks but they are all rare DX islands.

I've reached 25% of the total number of parks. Here is the award received from the VKFF Awards Manager Paul VK5PAS
