Mini-pennant RO3M

of attitude for specially protected natural areas demonstrates the RO3M team, which will be active since 10 UTC of August 28 until 12 UTC of August 30 from the Levashovsky zakaznik  (natural reserve), RFF-0994 (ATNO!) on 160-10 m and 2 m CW and SSB.

Transceivers FT-950, IC-746, FT-991 and Flex 6200, an ACOM-1000 power amplifier, antennas Inverted Vee for 160–80–40–30 M bands and Spiderbeam for 20–17–15–12–10 M bands will be used.

QSOs with RO3M / p during this period are also valid for:
– RRNA: Knyaginya river R-46-0090;
– RAFA: Levashovo airfield HA2Q;
– RDA: Nekrasovsky district YR-20.

A free commemorative mini-pennant will be mailed free of charge for 5 QSOs with RO3M/p (QSOs on different bands or different modes). Send your GCR and mailing address to

But what is the “great example”? Great example is in the fact that the RO3M team will clean area from garbage within a radius of 500 m from its location, for which they are prepared 100 garbage bags.

UPD.06.IX.2020

We congratulate the RO3M team on their successful debut in RFF (WWFF), having conducted 1132 QSOs from the Levashovsky zakaznik, RFF-0994.

The story of how this was happening is published (in Russian) on the website of the Yaroslavl Regional Public Association (ROO) of the Union of Radioamateurs of Russia (SRR).
Keep it up! Thanks!

In accordance with the award program, WWFF series certificates are issued in the electronic form — JPG files of  3510x2480 pixels size (~ 3.16 MB), sufficient for printing the certificate in A4 size with a standard quality of 300 dpi. Each certificate for printing comes with a “screen” version of 1080x763 pixels size (~ 250 kByte).

Certificates have their own numbering for each award degree. When applying for a higher (22…88 references for RFF-H or 10…50 for RFF-A) the applicant automatically “gets” all previous degrees in the form of “stickers” included, if they were not applied before; each degree with its own numbering in lists below.

GPS tracks. What, how and why

  • Print

15 October 2019

Introduction

More than six months have passed since we included GPS-tracks as necessary evidence (confirmation, proof) of the activator's stay in the activated territory.

Almost one and a half hundred logs provided with GPS-tracks were accepted from two dozen operators during this period.

The GPS-tracks were not always perfect, sometimes requiring additional effort and time to verify, and sometimes it was not at all clear even what, where and when it was.

The main complaint from potential activators was: “Why are you make things more complicated?! Make it easier and get more activators!”

I can not agree with these complaints. Although this is just a hobby, in WWFF, as in any other game, there are certain rules and conventions that must be followed if you decide to play this game.

Sanctuary Russia

This short, 2.5 minute video, "Sanctuary Russia" was created to mark the 100th anniversary of Russian protected nature system and was shown on Priroda TV channel as part of the Year of Ecology and the Year of the Specially Protected Natural Territories (2017). Besides that, it is freely available on YouTube. But, most probably, people who are not “obsessed” with the Flora-Fauna theme, did not even see it at all.

We just decided to pay your attention to it. Probably, it would be good to create a nook on our website, where to place the most interesting, in our opinion, videos about nature, reserves, etc. Someone prefers to look for and watch such things on their own — no problems, everything is in open access. Someone will probably find it more convenient to watch passingly something here. And, perhaps, random watching of something here will prompt someone to look for and see something interesting on the big Internet without our meddling help.

Who we are?

“Outdoor QRP Activity Group” — a group of amateur radio operators which actively using low power outside the home. This is not a club having a charter, membership numbers and contributions. This is a group of people who are actively promote and develop QRP operation in the fields, forests and other outdoors. There are no financial interests here, it's not a business, but the only hobby for us.

What may give the participation in our event to you? Nice mood, good recreation in nature with transceiver, opportunity to get the original award and using of our logo on your QSL-cards.

You can also become one of the organizers of the “Outdoor QRP Activity Group” (Outdoor QRP AG) events. It need to become a sponsor of some prize, award or implement some idea as part of our Marathon. But we notice you — it will bring no preferences to you in our events, you will participate only on common grounds.
