VUCC is an ARRL award. It was created in 1983 (?) for the VHF bands only. Maybe the HF band selection boxes shouldn't be there. But it also is not meant for, and should not be used to track HF grids, for which there is no award offered by ARRL. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] VUCC Grid award problems
Thanks Jim, I was hoping the answer was different... In that case, the VUCC Grid awards tab shouldn’t even have checkboxes for 160-10m :) Seems like a waste to me to have implemented the VUCC Grid award and not allow it to track all bands. For every other award, the user gets to define the valid bands and the award bands, why not for this? :-) I guess D4W users couldn’t use it to track the 2018 Grid Challenge, then... 73 Len > On Jul 9, 2019, at 8:31 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > > Len, there are two grid awards: > > The CQ DX Field award is for the first 2 letters only.

Re: [Dx4win] VUCC Grid award problems
Len, there are two grid awards: The CQ DX Field award is for the first 2 letters only. It is for at least the HF bands, maybe others too. The VUCC award is the VHF/UHF Century Club. Separate awards for each band starting at 6 meters. Selecting lower bands won't work.
