Congratulations to Jim, KE4KOL, for achieving Satellite VUCC. This is the most sought after VHF/UHF award in the world and equivalent to the DXCC program for HF & 6 meters. It's one thing to work 100 grids but the work doesn't stop until you have all of the cards in hand (or now LOTW matches).
Congratulations also to Rodney, KC0ZHF who moved to Wyoming a while back, for achieving his WAS Satellite Award. Working all 50 states can be a challenge. There's always one or two states that are not active for long periods of time. It takes patience.
Congratulations to both of you for your accomplishment!
73, John K8YSE
