Ray,

Maritime mobile grids often do not automatically get credited towards VUCC in LotW. Here's the steps to resolve it:

1. Click "Your QSOs"
2. Enter ND9M/MM in the "Call sign worked" field.
3. Select your VUCC account in the "Award account" drop down menu.
4. Click the submit button.
5. Check the checkbox on each of the QSOs that are uncredited.
6. Click "Submit VUCC Credit Changes"

The grids should now be listed in your VUCC award account. 

If this does not work, the help desk will need to manually resolve it.

73,

Paul, N8HM

Thanks, Jim, for taking us with you on the voyage! Glad you got across before the first named Pacific storm showed up. Wish I could have worked you farther into the Pacific, but RS-44 was great while it lasted. 

I have a question into the VUCC Help Desk because it looks like none of the QSOs with you from grids in international waters are being counted.

Have fun activating KH0!

We arrived safely at Saipan in QK25 this afternoon; the "hook" (anchor) has been dropped after almost a month underway. Here are the numbers for the voyage:

I made 951 QSOs from 62 grids in 12 different grid fields.

Of those QSOs, 285 were made using SSB, 161 with FM, and 505 on CW.

11 satellites were used for 152 passes in which QSOs were made. I was on an additional 31 passes in which no QSOs were made.

RS-44 was by far the hardest satellite for me to use, but even so 423 contacts (44%) were logged over that one. Also, AO-91 held up well enough to produce 146 contacts (15%) by itself.

All logs have been uploaded to LOTW. I'm still working on QSO fills.

I'll be on from our anchorage while we're here over the next month. But although we're close to shore, operating from the ship does not carry DXCC credit, so I'll take the gear ashore and operate as ND9M/KHØ as it's been several years since anyone's been on satellite from the island.

'Nuff for now. Thanks for riding along! 73/Jim, ND9M
