John,

Congratulations for your VUCC, is impressive to have this achevement with the less possible stations.

I also agree that all the /P stations have done a great job letting us to get the rarest grids on satellite...

Anyway, griDXpeditions is a great way to hit the road an have aditional fun...

Here are some interesting statistics on the movers
 and shakers in the world of grid dxpeditions.  The
 list represents cards that I have received that have
 been used for VUCC filings or that will be used in a
 future filing.  If you add them up, the 11 stations
 that I worked and needed in 4 or more grids total up
 to 100 grids, enough to file for the basic VUCC award!
 This is all in the past 2-1/2 years with the vast
 majority in the last year alone.  These stations have
 operated from many more grids that I had already
 confirmed.  Therefore, the number of grids they
 operated from is much higher than what I have listed
 below:

 VE6AB            4

 Thanks to all of you for making the effort to operate
 away from home and for giving all of us many new grids.
