Field notes · WWFF · 6 min
WWFF is a reference problem. Stop treating it like extra homework.
Flora and Fauna activations die in the paperwork. The reference, the GPS, the hunter, the export. If those are four apps, you will activate less. Put the reference on the log line and go operate.

Reference, GPS, export — one surface
K- parks, VE- parks, and WWFF references are different catalogs with the same operator motion: go there, make the contacts, prove it later. A logger that only knows one program will make the second feel like a chore.
Load the reference before you arrive. Let GNSS keep the grid. Write QSOs locally. Export once.
Hunters and activators share a log
Role switch, not a new app. Hunters still need DUPE. Activators still need a count. The paperwork is what you should not be doing at the picnic table.
- Reference on the line.
- Offline writes.
- ADIF that the program accepts the first time.
Why this belongs with POTA and SOTA
Operators do not pick one religion. Saturday is a park. Sunday is a summit. A WWFF reference in between. One muscle memory. Log73 is built as that OS, in field trial, without a fake user count attached.
Questions
Can one logger handle POTA and WWFF?
Yes. They are both reference-based field programs. The log should switch the reference scheme without switching products.
What does a WWFF ADIF need?
The reference in the right field, the QSO, and a grid you actually occupied. Do not hide the reference in a comment if the importer will ignore it.
Log73 is in field trial.
