[amsat-bb] Re: VUCC, grids, and a new QTH

[Rick - WA4NVM]

Patrick,

The website is way behind on updates.  Jim got #3 and Rob #4 months ago.
I think #5 spot is open.  Maybe you, John K8YSE, or some others can lock
it down it the future.

We all appreciate everyone's effort just traveling to that one grid next to 
your
home qth that is not very active.  And a big thanks to the few of you that 
make
a major effort to activate many new grids for all of us.

And what can you say about our two favorite M/M stations in the last four 
months.
WOW!  Super job Jim, ND9M and Yuri, UT1FG for their tireless effort during 
many
sleepless nights.

Great Job, Thanks and 73,

Rick WA4NVM

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:

http://www.csvhfs.org/CS-VUCCr.html

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!
