[Ron Seiler]

Would also like to add my congrats to KC9TTR. 

I earned VUCC Sat #45 in 1995, so only 90 were issued over the 9 years  to
2004. That's an average of 10 per year at a time when we had HEO 
sats and a wealth of LEO sats.

 101 VUCC's over the eight years from 2004 to 2012 is an average of about 12
per year. 

73,

Ron  VA7VW

My goodness! I got #135 on April 5th 2004. There must have been a long dry
spell.
