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?
