First PAFF awards issued

Effective start of award program

Just one day after launching the PAFF award program on various fora we have sent out the first chaser and the first activator awards. Uwe DL2ND received bronze chaser award number 1 for working 10 PAFF references and not surprisingly Hans PA3FYG received the first PA-Active activator award for activating more than 10 (17) different PAFF references.
Congrats!

In the first weekend of this month JanJaap PG7V was active from Schiermonnikoog - PAFF-017 and IOTA EU-038. Blessed with good weather he worked CW and SSB on 20, 30 and 40m.


PG7V @ PAFF-017
Schiermonnikoog does not allow visitors to take their car on the island so you will see PG7V with his bike on his blog: http://www.pg7v.com/category/paff

On his blog he also describes his activities at PAFF-033 and PAFF-012 earlier this year.
