Re: Antenna question
I read somewhere form Hustler that adding one in the middle is not recommended. I run 4 but they are basically off to the sides. I will try and find the link but you can always try it and see how it

Re: New rules for 44 Qs?
Respectfully, I don't think this a fair characterization of my point. Difficulty isn't the issue, but rather viability of actually engaging the pursuit and the reasons for it. The total time required

Re: New rules for 44 Qs?
Yes. You can work a Park Monday and get 23 QSOs and go back Thursday and get 21 more QSOs and then you get credit for activating the park.

> Activators are nothing without Hunters
And hunters are nothing without activators. It's a symbiotic relationship. Activators that only pass out 10 QSOs could be less experienced, could be running

Re: New rules for 44 Qs?
Opps, may have missed an important point here. Question,
Do multiple activations still count towards the "activation credit of 44?"

Here was our thinking on changing from 10 to 44... WWFF is a global program that WWFF-KFF is part of. The global awards have always been based on 44 contacts for an activation. Also, all the other

Re: New rules for 44 Qs?
The Old Timer has often spoke of this. He believes that Activators should be activating for the benefit of the Hunters. Kind of a hard core belief, but he kind of has a point, Activators are nothing

Hi Joe,
Funny I think there's a lot of commonality here. A couple
random thoughts...
With all the churn that's going on in the POTA community
as distressing as it is, I've been thinking about

Re: New rules for 44 Qs?
My wife, also a ham, has basically the same view. Some people activate from inside their vehicle in a parking lot, and that's fine, but they also might be missing out. It's within the rules though,

Re: New rules for 44 Qs?
Oh you would be surprised Joe. Running a good antenna with 100W on CW will easily get you well over 44. I say CW because the band conditions have been so terrible that CW is about the only thing that

Re: New rules for 44 Qs?
Hi Joe,
Yea, I saw that too. But is it a big deal? I guess it depends
on your perspective. One park I went back 3 times and
interestingly that days count was better than previously.
It's interesting

Re: New rules for 44 Qs?
That's unfortunate as it's going to make me much less likely to bother activating wwff refs.
I was just getting in the habit of doing quick park activations when on road trips etc. I actually stopped

New rules for 44 Qs?
Did the rules for the KFF program change to requiring 44 Qs for an activation? I thought I saw this mentioned somewhere but can't find it.
