Congrats Sebastian! What a coincidence to get that number. I too am
surprised at the "lack" of satellite VUCCs.... I am going to be submitting
my application here very soon.

But remember, we don't have 40 years of QSOs to count towards VUCC. Only
QSOs made January 1, 1983 and later count for VUCC. I was surprised when I
got satellite VUCC back in 2003 or so that it was only #129.

Sebastian,
Congratulations! I just started working sats two months ago. So far I've
worked 47 grids, 28 of which have been confirmed QSL. Hopefully I'll be
joining you In the VUCC soon.
Hope to work you someday.

I guess that waiting around a couple of years or so to finally submit my
cards for satellite VUCC paid off.
I know there was some talk about this some time ago, as to who would get
number 200. Well, the mailman came and that's the number on mine!
Seems strange considering almost all the contacts on the FM birds are a grid
exchange; guess many are either not collecting the 100 cards, or aren't
submitting them.

Sebastian,
Congratulations!? I recently spent a few days, off and on, copying my paper
logs into electronic format.? Reminded me of my spare time job years ago
doing key punch work.? Anyway, it was fun to see what was there.? I need to
ping a few people to finish up some awards, which I will do in the winter
months.? I uploaded to eQSL and LoTW my AO-10 and AO-13 contacts.? I got
exactly 2 hits out of several hundred.? ;)

Boy am I mad at ARRL giving Sebastian #200 when I wanted it, hi..... Knew I
would be close, since Kerry WC7V got #199. Congrat's to Sebastian anyway, as
dont want to be a sore loser, hi. I too received my VUCC award in the mail
today, along with the 125 sticker. Took me just 11 months without really
pushing it, and I thank all the folks I worked for sending their QSL cards and
to Bruce KK5DO for counting them. This award, along with the WAS-Satellite
award I received 2 months ago are a very nice addition to my wall. Only thing
now is that I have to go get a larger frame, as it is a big piece of paper.

Is it possible to have AO-51 configure to pass DSTAR signal as AO-27 does?
With autumn first day today we will have more time inside
available and it could be an interesting experiment. On V/U fm mode DSTAR
signal does not pass through as a previous test made last year.
