[amsat-bb] Thank you - VUCC

[R.T.Liddy]

Got my SAT-VUCC #235, Oct 31, 2012

Was lazy and never got around to applying before that - HIHI.

(VUCC for SAT is for QSOs dated 1/1/83 and later)

First SAT QSO was 10/16/77 with W1ECH on AO-7 CW 2M/10M.

73,    Bob  K8BL    (AMSAT #6593, since 1979)

P.S.  When did others have their First SAT QSO & details?
