Congrats all around! I was one of those 7... Right behind you, Paul, with VUCC #249, also issued in March. I waited to submit 150 grids to match up with the 150 I previously had (under my old callsign) which was VUCC #86. Those were all on RS-12/13. I miss that bird... :^) 73, Kevin N4UFO --

Good afternoon, Today I received VUCC Satellite certificate #248, dated March 26, 2014. Thanks to all for the QSOs and QSLs. Special thanks to those I've worked in multiple grid squares. Although I had made a handful of QSOs previously, my serious satellite operating started on August 21st of las

I, of course, have a few comments. While I'm not much in favor of an expansion, the ARRL is having enough problems administering the awards they all ready offer. I would suggest you pattern any expansion along the lines of the DXCC Challange, total of band grids. The second thought would be a

First of all, congrats to KC9TTR for #236 !! As a side comment, I look up at VUCC #226 (dated 12-29-11). That means there have been only 100 VUCC's this year. The death of HO68, SO67, AO51 and now AO27 really put the 'hurt' on new activity. I feel fortunate to have got most of my grids from AO-51
