The VUCC Standings for September 30th are still not

without problems. Totals that changed a few up or down

are still not corrected. A few more callsigns are missing.

Below are the totals that changed on 8 September 2017 which

were in the last posting. The 30 September pdf dropped N1AIA

and AK4WQ(EN34). AI6GS and K7TAB are still missing.

AI6GS (230)

K7TAB (100)

New Callsigns Missing on 30Sep2017:

N1AIA (216)

KO4MA 1564 -> 1562

AC0RA 1143 -> 1142

K8TL 974 -> 973

AA5PK 876 -> 875

This list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf

listings for September 8th and September 30th, 2017. It's a visual

comparison so omissions are possible. Apologies if your

call was not mentioned. Thanks to all those who are

roving to grids that are rarely on the birds. They are

doing most of the work!
