The World Wide Award organizing team, represented by IW1FRU Max, IU1NSA Lorenzo, and IK1HJS Carlo, took part again in the 2026 International Amateur Radio Exhibition, to promote the project and share the latest achievements of the WWA initiative.
It was a great pleasure meeting in person the representatives of our main sponsors Ray Novak N9JA for ICOM America, Ivan Leitner LU8MIL and Ulrich Zehndbauer DK5ZU for WiMo, Beppe Spanò IT9HBT for MOMO Beam and Ranko 4O3A for 4O3A Signature key partners whose ongoing support has been essential to the constant growth and evolution of the WWA. Their collaboration enables us to expand the project year after year, improving the experience for both activators and hunters.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this year’s event was receiving enthusiastic and positive feedback from so many WWA participants. We were thrilled to hear comments of appreciation, new ideas, and useful suggestions for future editions.
We also had the opportunity to personally thank many of the WWA activator teams and greet numerous hunters who have been key contributors to the success of the initiative. In particular, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to the many hunters and activators who spontaneously made donations to support the WWA project, an important gesture that confirms the strong community spirit around this initiative. All the positive energy and warm hospitality we received in Friedrichshafen truly inspires us to keep pushing forward and continue developing the WWA project at the highest level.
Our next stop will be the Ham fair IbeRadio in Ávila this September, where we’ll be present together with our sponsor HamBuy for the official WWA 2026 award ceremony. We look forward to celebrating another year of achievements with the entire WWA community.
