Остров Монерон

* * *

Due to the illness of some of the members, the expedition is preliminarily postponed to August

UPD.09.IX.2021

Unfortunately, the expedition has been postponed indefinitely. Stay tuned. . We wish to the expeditioners a speedy recovery from illness and good health in the future!

DXpedition to Moneron Island, reference RFF-0193 will take place from 15 to 31 July 2021.

It is planned to operate with RI0FM callsign on all bands in CW, SSB and FT8.
The recent and most detailed information about the expedition, plans, dates, team, equipment — on the expedition website RI0FM.

QSO with the RI0FM expedition — a unique opportunity to get into account the rarest RFF reference, as well as the Russian Federation entity and the Federal District for Sanctuary Russia Award Program.

Moneron is a picturesque hardly accessible island up to 3.8 x 7 km in size in the Tartar Strait, 50 km to west of the southern tip of the Sakhalin Island.

Moneron Island completely, together with the adjacent islands, rocks, reefs and stones, is part of Russian first marine natural park, the SPNA Moneron Island Natural Park, which is the only Russian horn-billed puffin (lat. Cerorhinca monocerata) nesting site. There are colonies of other birds on the adjacent islands and rocks, and there are sea lions and seals rookeries in some parts of the coast. Forests cover only about 20% of the island's territory, the rest of the territory is covered with "grape" meadows, where the height of grasses entwined with wild grape vines, reaches 2.5 meters.

There is no permanent population on the island.

For technical and other reasons, our website has been closed for a quite long time. But now it has been restored almost in full and is back in service.

What will meet us in the nearest future:

  • albeit with some delay, the results of 2020 will be published in the coming days;
  • a small official amendment to the Rating Rules, coming into effect already this year. It does not in any way affect the current activity, but only has to do with summing up the results of the year;
  • debts for sending electronic RFF-H awards will be eliminated within the next few days;
  • new references, as previously announced
  • “Donation” button for those who wish to support the RFF program and the work of its website.

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!

19 October 2021

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.

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.
