But remember, we don't have 40 years of QSOs to count towards VUCC. Only QSOs made January 1, 1983 and later count for VUCC. I was surprised when I got satellite VUCC back in 2003 or so that it was only #129.

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.

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.
