Good news!

Afaik, #POTA started as a hostile fork of #WWFF back in the day.

So far, so normal. But for years, a piece of bad news was that POTA used to have a hostility-preserving rule in its code of conduct. See my almost three year old toot 🧵 = https://mastodon.radio/@dj3ei/111609707966648623 for details.

The good news: As I learned today, the POTA people removed that rule. October 14 last year, they did.

👍

Our #hamRadio neighborhood turned a bit friendlier!

I will try out POTA myself, finally.

Being able to keep an ear on the birds and the wind is one reason I prefer cw over ssb. But I did make some voice qso's today, according to Polo the activation was 4h4min which was absolutely a coincidence, and had 44 QSOs, which wasn't. Also 4 in Europe and 40 in the US. 44 the minimum for a #WWFF activation - but usually I don't have the patience for that. 44, in WWFF speak, stands for the 4 directions on a compass and the 4 elements. Thanks @N4JAW for the P2P! Another 4, very auspicious.

And CQ #POTA once more today. While nature shows more blossoms I could work lots of portable stations for many programs: #SOTA, #WWFF, #COTA etc.
93 QSO in the end, mainly Europe and North America.
Thanks hunters!

@kr1st I'm not even interested in the awards. I just want to combine two hobbies, #hamradio and the outdoors, and upload my logs mainly so others can get their awards. Hence it doesn't take a lot to make me no longer care (I stopped doing #WWFF because log management was so annoying), but in this case it's also a matter of principle.

So according to this award I spent 180+ days hunting WWFF activations... should I be worried? 😁 😅

See what you were up to last year at: https://wwff.co/wwff-marathon-2025-awards/
