John,

Congratulations for your VUCC, is impressive to have this achevement with the less possible stations.

I also agree that all the /P stations have done a great job letting us to get the rarest grids on satellite...

Anyway, griDXpeditions is a great way to hit the road an have aditional fun...

Here are some interesting statistics on the movers and shakers in the world of grid dxpeditions.  The list represents cards that I have received that have been used for VUCC filings or that will be used in a future filing.  If you add them up, the 11 stations that I worked and needed in 4 or more grids total up to 100 grids, enough to file for the basic VUCC award! This is all in the past 2-1/2 years with the vast majority in the last year alone.  These stations have operated from many more grids that I had already confirmed.  Therefore, the number of grids they operated from is much higher than what I have listed below:

Station       Nr of New Grids -------------------------- WD9EWK          20 ND9M            16 KD4ZGW          15 KB0RZD           9 KD8CAO           8 N5AFV            7 N5ZNL            7 VO1ONE           6 W6GMT            4 VE6AB            4 WA4NVM           4

Thanks to all of you for making the effort to operate away from home and for giving all of us many new grids.
