"The
term 'Lets Save the Green Planet Earth' was initiated as the slogan for the WFF
program. Operators were encouraged whilst having a QSO with a WFF
expedition, to transmit two figures…..'44'. This meant 'Forty Four -
Flora Fauna' and was interpreted as the slogan for WFF.
The first digit '4' represents the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire.
The second digit '4' represents the four directions: north, south, west, & east.
The first digit '4' represents the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire.
The second digit '4' represents the four directions: north, south, west, & east.
To this day, you will still hear operators using '44'. "
