Hi!
It looks like the satellite VUCC award has become popular in recent months, as well as in the past few years. I got my original satellite VUCC in May 2011, #210. In the past few months, 4 others...
#399 for QSOs from southeastern Arizona, issued in October 2018
#400 for QSOs in southwestern Arizona and southeastern California, also issued in October 2018
#413 for QSOs around Quartzsite AZ & Blythe CA, issued in December 2018
#421 for QSOs in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona, issued in February 2019
And we are currently at #427... nice!
73!

Congrats!
On another note, the fact that we're at #427 in VUCCs issued is a testament to the increase in popularity of satellite ops and grid chasing over the past few years. VUCC Satellite has been around since either the late 1980s or early 1990s. I received #248 in March 2014. So, in about 5 years, about 42% of all satellite VUCCs issued in about 30 years have been awarded.
