[SJDXA] VUCC LoTW

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

ARRL's Logbook of the World (LoTW) -- an online system for amateurs to
confirm two-way contacts that can be used for various ARRL awards -- has
been upgraded to support awards based on Maidenhead grid squares, such as
VUCC and the Fred Fish Memorial Award. To take advantage of the new
features, you need to log in to your LoTW account. VUCC is an open-ended
award in that hams can work on throughout their lifetime, just like DXCC.
But, like the Worked All States award, the VUCC rules require all the
contacts to be made from a defined area. For VHF and UHF QSOs on 1296 MHz
and below, this distance must be within 200 km. For SHF awards, contacts
must be made from a single location, defined as within a 300 meter diameter
circle. As such, the VUCC support in LoTW allows you to make the rule -- or
rules -- necessary to find the QSLs in LoTW that satisfy the VUCC rules.
Don't have an LoTW account? It's easy to sign up. Read more here
