VUFF Indian Flora Fauna Award.


The VUFF Award  is a beautiful certificate issued by VU2UR  (arasuvu2ur@gmail.com).

The basic conditions are that you must have worked a minimum of three VUFF sites which are among the  activated. The relaxation is, if you work 3 or more  different call signs from the same VUFF site, like VUFF-0005 the Bannerghatta Biological  Park,VUFF-0091 the Sundarbans National Park (Sagar Is,IOTA as-153, every January),and Lakshadweep Marine Biosphere Reserve VUFF-0103, when  they  were activated at different times. Even the Gulf of Mannar VUFF-0030  (IOTA AS-173)   has been activated while at Rameswaram, by different groups like  AT5RP,  and others.
As all these logs are NOT available with the WWFF log search facility, KINDLY apply direct to VU2UR with your QSO  data, which will be examined and award sent to you by e-mail in soft copy jpeg or pdf format.

(Details about the "The Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park (VUFF-0030)", " The  Gulf of Kutch Marine National Park (VUFF-0029)  and "Sundarbans  National  Park   (VUFF-0091) " activations  are separately  given.)

Apart from   Minicoy Island Expedition, now to help popularise the VUFF award, all the operations from Lakshadweep Islands are also accounted for VUFF-0103, as the Marine Biosphere Reserve  encompasses a very large area, including both the island groups.

All the WWFF fans and radio operators taking part in WWFF hunting, please go through the activation calls given in the pages of this blog,  and  send me your entire log of Indian Stations  worked, so that I can sift and check the QSOs that are valid for the VUFF award and issue the award  immediately  by return mail.

 Thank you, 44/73,Namaste
