Hey Sebastian,
Not sure about Florida checkers ... but I wonder if you have any hamfests coming up near you? You'll often find clubs that will offer card-checking at hamfests. I know a couple of guys who've had their cards checked at hamfests up in this part of the world to either earn their initial VUCC or to earn an endorsement.
Best of luck finding someone, and contgratulations on reaching Satellite VUCC.

Last year when I had enough cards for 6 meters VUCC, it took me a few weeks to find a card checker. The list I received from the ARRL had a lot of emails that bounced, and I received a lot of responses saying "I no longer check cards". I finally found one after about 8 attempts and all went well.
I now have more than enough cards to qualify for satellite VUCC, and I emailed the card checker who I used last year for 6 meters a couple of weeks ago, and have not heard a response.
So is there an ARRL card checker in Florida, or near Florida who can help me please?
The ARRL didn't seem to be too concerned that their list was not up to date (based on not even receiving a reply from them, and even after offering my services to be a card checker), so I figure someone on here is either a card checker, or has used one recently.
