The KFF Marathon Challenge, a yearlong activity wherein we will recognize the achievers who work, or activate, the most KFF References during the calendar year, is designed to promote WWFF activity worldwide and to recognize those that distinguish themselves by working, or activating, the most KFF References during year. The KFF Marathon Challenge wants to continuously draw attention to the importance of protecting nature, flora and fauna. And to encourage hams to Make Nature Your Shack.

Narrative for January results
The KFF Marathon Challenge for 2024 has wrapped up as another FB year. As in past years, Paul KD7DT and Gerard F1BLL led the Hunter’s category while Chas NK8O took over leadership for the Activators. Congratulations to these guys for their outstanding performance and perseverance. Hats off to the remainder of the Top 5 and Top 10 Hunters and Activators. 2024 did have a sad moment with the passing of Graziano IW2NXI. He was consistently one of the top European hunters of KFF references. He is missed!
