I just got number VUCC #427 certificate in the mail this morning.
Thank you to all those who helped me with it. It will be on the wall Monday after I show it off tomorrow at the Snohomish County Hams Club. JohnN7AME
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.

Oh, my..... I am showing my age now. I became a ham in 1993 and immediately went into satellite operations. My VUCC in late 1993 is #17. For at least a dozen years after that they increased very rarely.
I am glad to see all the activity on the satellites and enough satellites for everyone to have fun with.

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!
