[amsat-bb] GridMaster Award

[Bruce]

This looks like it will be an evolving project until we get it to the 
point that will be the easiest for the users.

The first way and probably the less difficult will be to go to your LoTW 
account
Click on Awards and then VUCC
Next click on VUCC Satellite
Choose All Credits and click Select VUCC Award to View to display ALL 
your VUCC credits
Hold down the CTRL key and hit the minus button several times. Each 
time, the data gets smaller.
Make it so you can still read it and take a screen shot. This should 
allow you to get about 50 on a page
about 9 or 10 screen shots minimum and maybe 15-20 if you have a lot of 
grids and you are done (remember, on my end, I can expand it if it is 
too small to read)
Do not worry if you have a lot of grids that are not in the states. I am 
going to scroll until i find the first, like CN and look from there.

Someone asked when they saw mine about "Legacy VUCC Credit". If you were 
around prior to LoTW and submitted for VUCC, the ARRL only marked that 
you had a particular grid confirmed, they did not keep the call of the 
station you worked. When they moved everything to LoTW, they had to put 
something in the Call Sign field and "Legacy VUCC Credit" seemed 
appropriate. You still get credit for those grids.

Okay, the next method, get to the same screen however, instead of doing 
screen shots, you let Firefox or Chrome do the work for you.

Get to the same screen with a list of your QSO's like indicated above. 
Only now, instead of doing screen shots, you click on File, then Save 
Page As. Select a directory on your hard drive, give the file a name and 
hit save.
You will get a directory named (whatever you entered for the file name) 
and a bunch of files in that directory. You will also get a file in the 
main directory with that file name.

Send me the file name.html as well as all the files in the sub-directory.
This is also pretty simple to do. In fact this might be 100% less work 
than taking all the screen shots. You do not have to send me everything 
zipped. You can send all the files as long as you do not alter the name 
of the html file. I can create the sub-directory on my computer and 
throw the files in there.

Hopefully, we will get a few more painless suggestions to make it 
easier. I also need either the one of the Excel spread sheets that lists 
all the possible grids and the call you worked. I can then compare them 
to one of the above lists.
