The results of radio amateur activity in the RFF (Russian Flora and Fauna) program for 2021 are summarized.
Despite the many limitations caused by the pandemic, there have been some quite good results for the year:
- The number of activators is 17 individual and 3 club stations. Of course, in comparison with other award programs, this is not so much, but... It is worth to take into account that the RFF is a rather complicated program, with higher requirements for the activation crediting. We should also consider the fact that comparing to other national WWFF programs, the number of our activators is quite high. There are new radio amateurs interested in the program who are trying their hand as activators and, many not without success.
- The number of hunters is 4'751, including 2'068 of Russians. Comparing to 2020, there is an increase in interest - last year it was 4'014 hunters, including 1'568 Russians.
- 82 references were activated during the year. This is not much less than previous year's result of 89 references. The decrease in the number of activations was due more to the above-mentioned pandemic restrictions than to activators' reluctance.
- 17'236 QSO were conducted, the average number of QSO per activation for most of activators exceeded 100 with minimal required number of 44 QSO..
- It was issued RFF-H awards: 209 for QSO with 11 references and 128 for QSO with 22 references. We look forward to opening access to applications for the higher grades and, accordingly, to get new award applications.
Congratulations to the winners: Valery R7KFF for first place in the activator rating with a great result of 50 activated references and Pasi OH1MM for first place in the international hunter rating with a result of 72 out of 82 activated references! The prizes for the winners have already been ordered and will be sent to their home address shortly.
Thank you very much to all who took part in Rating-2021 and wewelcome to Rating-2022. Good health, good luck, and good passage in 2022. Take care!
