Rating 2022. Results - RFF and Outdoor QRP Activity Group

Details: RN3ANT; 11 April 2024

The results of RFF (Russian Flora and Fauna) radio amateur awarding program activity for 2022 is summarised.

It has been a difficult year with quite hard challenges for our country and beyond. Nevertheless, given the situation, there were achieved some pretty good results:

Fourteen activators took part in the program. Two activations were made for the first time from a difficult, remote region — the Far East, personal thanks to R0CDP for that! The total number of activations for known reasons was less than in previous years. We hope that everything will go back to normal and activity will increase noticeable in 2023.

The results of the hunters also decreased due to the small number of activations. There were only 2'316, including 1'285 Russian participants.

34 references were activated during the year, this is significantly less than previous year's result. The decrease in the number of activations is obviously due more to the known problems of our country than to the reluctance of the activators. There were established 5675 QSOs, the average number per reference exceeded 156 QSOs.

The number of RFF-A and RFF-H awards issued is steadily increasing, and access was opened to apply 20 references for activators and 44 for hunters in WWFF Logsearch this year. We look forward to opening access to apply next, higher degrees of RFF awards and, accordingly, to accepting of new applications.

Congratulations to the winners:

Valery R7KFF for first place in the activator ranking, once again showing a good result with 19 activated references;
Sergey R2RZ for first place in the international hunter ranking with 23 of 34 activated references. This is the first time in our program that a domestic station has won this ranking!

Prizes and commemorative certificates have already been ordered and will be sent to the winners shortly.

Many thanks to all who took part in the 2022 Rankings and we hope to see you in the 2023 Rankings. Good health, good luck, peace and good propagation in 2023.

* — average number of QSOs per 1 activation — indicator published for information only, it does not affect the activators distribution in the table.
It is calculated as the arithmetic mean of all the results of the activator, excluding the one smallest and the one largest results.
