Way to go guys. Congratulations to all of you. If any one needs a card from me with both grids, drop me a line. I have failed to do in the past, but will start doing from now on.

The Central States VHF Society has just updated their website to reflect applications for VUCC-r, Reverse VUCC, filed some time ago.
This award is given to those who have operated via satellites in more than 100 grids away from their home grid. There are now four operators who have achieved this distinction. They are N7SFI-200 grids, N5AFV-109 grids, ND9M-325 grids, and KD4ZGW-100 grids.
The rules require that applicants submit proof of contacts made from these away from home grids. So if you work someone signing "portable" (meaning they are operating away from home), please remember to include your grid as well as the grid they were operating from on your qsl. This will provide the proof of contact required by the Central States VHF Society.
Congratulations to all of these operators and especially to the newest additions to the list, Jim ND9M and Rob KD4ZGW. Well done!
73, John K8YSE
