You are correct.  The Central States VHF Society has a Reverse VUCC
award:

There have been 2 satellite awards issued, according to this web page:

I thought KD4ZGW had also obtained this award.  If ND9M receives enough
QSL cards, he'd also qualify for it.  I've worked from 58 different grids, and
may eventually get to the 100 mark.

73!
