Congrats Sebastian! What a coincidence to get that number. I too am surprised at the "lack" of satellite VUCCs.... I am going to be submitting my application here very soon.
73!

Sebastian,
Congratulations! I recently spent a few days, off and on, copying my paper logs into electronic format. Reminded me of my spare time job years ago doing key punch work. Anyway, it was fun to see what was there. I need to ping a few people to finish up some awards, which I will do in the winter months. I uploaded to eQSL and LoTW my AO-10 and AO-13 contacts. I got exactly 2 hits out of several hundred. ;)

I guess that waiting around a couple of years or so to finally submit my cards for satellite VUCC paid off.
I know there was some talk about this some time ago, as to who would get number 200. Well, the mailman came and that's the number on mine!
Seems strange considering almost all the contacts on the FM birds are a grid exchange; guess many are either not collecting the 100 cards, or aren't submitting them.
Having amateur satellites available for almost 40 years, and only 200 satellite VUCC awards, WOW.
73 de Sebastian, W4AS
