    World Wide Award Sprint 2025

    Following the successful World Wide Award month provided by Hamaward in January, a second “sprint” event was held between June 30th and 6th July 2025. The aim is to contact as many of the special “WWA” callsigns and other participating activators, once per day per band per mode. Points are awarded automatically and your progress in the award can be checked via the Hamaward website or via the “embed” within the QRZ page of the activating station.

    I was pleased to participate again this year. Unfortunately, I had antenna issues due to strong winds and my cobweb came down below roof height. I participated using my end-fed with a 49:1 unun until I was able to have the cobweb reinstated midweek.

    I was very pleased to finish with the following results:
