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. ;) Alan WA4SCA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sebastian Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 12:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [amsat-bb] #200 VUCC I guess that waiting around a couple of years or so to finally submit my cards for satellite VUCC paid off.
