Hi!

It looks like the satellite VUCC award has become popular
in recent months, as well as in the past few years. I got
my original satellite VUCC in May 2011, #210. In the past
few months, 4 others...

#399 for QSOs from southeastern Arizona, issued in October 2018

#400 for QSOs in southwestern Arizona and southeastern California,
also issued in October 2018

#413 for QSOs around Quartzsite AZ & Blythe CA, issued in December
2018

#421 for QSOs in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in
southern Arizona, issued in February 2019

And we are currently at #427... nice!

73!
