Areas nearby

The Areas tab lists the WWFF references around your position, within the distance you chose in Settings (10, 25, 50 or 100 km). References across the border are in it too.

One line per reference

What you see	Meaning
Reference and name	For example ONFF-0842 · Boshoek.
Distance and bearing	In a straight line from you, for example 1.5 km · 62°.
QSO count	How many contacts were made from there, according to the WWFF directory.
Last active	The date of the last activation.
no activation date known	The directory has a reference but no date.
not in the WWFF directory	Diana knows the area, but the directory has nothing on it. That does not mean it was never activated.

Sorting: which order to choose?

Button	When to use it
Distance	The nearest first. When you want to set up quickly.
Last active	The areas that were off the air the longest first. That is where a pile-up is most likely.
QSO count	The least worked areas first. When you want to give hunters a new one.

Note

The QSO counts and dates come from the WWFF directory, refreshed every night. Where the directory has nothing, the screen says so rather than calling it “never activated”.
