good job, mine said #185 Oct. 29, 2009 when i had the cards checked there was
a checker 50 miles away from me,
 
now i will have to go 300 miles east or 150 miles south there is no one in WY to check vucc cards, i have thought about takeing the job,
but i will have to have some one else check my cards, 
also it seems like some do not need will paper??  i like it.
best regards

I guess that waiting around a couple of years or so to finally submit my cards for satellite VUCC paid off.

I know there was some talk about this some time ago, as to who would get number 200.  Well, the mailman came and that's the number on mine!

Seems strange considering almost all the contacts on the FM birds are a grid exchange; guess many are either not collecting the 100 cards, or aren't submitting them.  

Having amateur satellites available for almost 40 years, and only 200 satellite VUCC awards, WOW.

Sebastian,

Congratulations!  I recently spent a few days, off and on, copying my paper
logs into electronic format.  Reminded me of my spare time job years ago
doing key punch work.  Anyway, it was fun to see what was there.  I need to
ping a few people to finish up some awards, which I will do in the winter
months.  I uploaded to eQSL and LoTW my AO-10 and AO-13 contacts.  I got
exactly 2 hits out of several hundred.  ;)
