You are correct. The Central States VHF Society has a Reverse VUCC
award:
http://www.csvhfs.org/CSVHFVUC.HTML
There have been 2 satellite awards issued, according to this web page:
http://www.csvhfs.org/CS-VUCCr.html
I thought KD4ZGW had also obtained this award. If ND9M receives enough
QSL cards, he'd also qualify for it. I've worked from 58 different grids, and
may eventually get to the 100 mark.
73!

If your new FK68 QTH is 50 miles from your FK78 location, you don't have
to start over with a new VUCC. You would be within the 200km/124.2-mile
limit in the VUCC rules for satellite or 6m through 1.2 GHz. You could add
to whatever you had from FK78. That distance - 50 miles - is the limit for
the WAS awards, and you can work from anywhere in Puerto Rico for
DXCC.
Hope to hear you on the satellites. 73!
