ONFF Booth at the UBA National Congress

Luk ON4BB, Gino ON2SSB & Peter ON2WAB

For the first time ONFF presented the ONFF program to members of  the UBA at Knokke - Heist.

This yearly UBA congress, set-up by different UBA sections was organized by the members of section ONZ located at the North sea coast.

Our ONFF goal was to let the visitors know who we are, what was the purpose of the program and let them how and what to find on our website www.ONFF.be

Gino ON2SSB (our our award manager) presented his different for free awards, while Peter ON2WAB (as the leading ONFF activator) guided the interested visitors on how to activate ONFF references and what they require to get a valid log.

Our ONFF Google Earth presentation was of top interest to our visitors. This KMZ is available on the ONFF website in the download section.

We hope this will build and enforce our ONFF/WWFF programs and attract ON - activators to join our program.
