Oh, my..... I am showing my age now. I became a ham in 1993 and immediately went into satellite operations. My VUCC in late 1993 is #17. For at least a dozen years after that they increased very rarely.
I am glad to see all the activity on the satellites and enough satellites for everyone to have fun with.

Congrats!
On another note, the fact that we're at #427 in VUCCs issued is a testament to the increase in popularity of satellite ops and grid chasing over the past few years. VUCC Satellite has been around since either the late 1980s or early 1990s. I received #248 in March 2014. So, in about 5 years, about 42% of all satellite VUCCs issued in about 30 years have been awarded.
73,

Thank you to all those who helped me with it. It will be on the wall Monday after I show it off tomorrow at the Snohomish County Hams Club.
