[amsat-bb] VUCC Award XE1AO and WA5KBH

Congratulations to Omar, XE1AO, for achieving Satellite VUCC #182 and to George, WA5KHB, for confirming 225 Grids for his VUCC! Both are recognized in the October, 2009, issue of QST on page 94.

Also Jerry, VE6AB, is shown with his "CJU" antenna on page 76. Plans for this simple antenna were in February QST. This antenna is also used by Rob, KD4ZGW/M, our over-the-road truck driver, who has handed out many rare grids during his travels across the United States.

If you are just getting into satellites and are not hearing the birds very well, the CJU antenna may be just the ticket to making your first contact.

73, John K8YSE
