[amsat-bb] Re: VUCC costs

[John Geiger]

I WAS going to get an endorsement for my satellite and six meter VUCCs, but 
given that it would cost me around 35 dollars each to get an endorsement for 
an extra 150 grids, I don't think so. Hope this new insane fee schedule 
doesn't kill VUCC submissions.  I think AMSAT awards will be getting much 
more popular.
