Hopefully, soon I will have a VK5COP certificate implemented in hamlog.online.

It will be issued online at the following levels:

• Bronze – 5 QSOS
• Silver – 10 QSOs
• Gold – 15 QSOs
• Platinum – 25 QSOs
• Diamond – 50 QSOs
• Sapphire – 75 QSOs

You will be able to enter your callsign and download the certificate for free.

I am also working on a certificate for VK5IPA.

Over the past week I have completed the Top VKFF Activator, Top VKFF Hunter, Top VKFF Foundation Activator, and Top VKFF Foundation Hunter certificates for the World Wide Flora Fauna (WWFF) program.

Last year I was very quiet as a Hunter, with other priorities in life. But I did manage to come in at position 6 in the top 10 for the Top VKFF Activator award.

I activated 84 VKFF references in 2025. I don’t tend to head out much nowadays, as my noise floor at home is zero. I am very lucky. Most of my activating now is either for the Activation Weekend, special event days, or when Marija VK5MAZ and I are travelling.

When I do activate, I still thoroughly enjoy the experience. Thank you to all of the WWFF participants. Every call I log is greatly appreciated.

The certificate features a photograph I took of Alum Cliffs State Reserve, VKFF-1790 in Tasmania.

A few days ago I received my latest VKFF Hunter Honour Roll certificate, issued for having hunted 2,525 different VKFF references.

Thank you to all of the VKFF activators and to Adam VK2YK, the VK5 VKFF Awards Manager.
