Mark,
Here is the pdf file url. Read section 4. (b) and (c). I hope that explains it for you. Also, look at (e), that explains the rule for ROVERS giving us all those rare grid squares. These rules are DIFFERENT from the VHF rules for rovers and grid confirmations.
See you on the birds, Rick

I checked the web page for VUCC, and it says no active satellites or repeaters can be used for the award. Whoops, maybe I misunderstood but I thought these SAT QSO's, once confirmed, would count towards VUCC.
