Reverse VUCC Award (VUCC/r)
Sponsored by the Central States VHF Society. This program
recognizes the "rover stations" who travel to rare grid areas and
make contacts to benefit those working for the VUCC award and other VHF grid
based programs. The goal is to make contacts FROM a set number of grids
per band. The number of grids is the same as required by the ARRL award. Cards
are required when submitting for the award.
Contacts made on 1 Jan 1993 or later will qualify. All
contacts must be made operating AWAY from the home station location. The QSL
cards, QSO listings and log extracts sent must include: both call signs, both
grids, mode, date, time and band/frequency. This required information may be
in any order on the listing or log extract. The cards, listings and extracts
should also have the name of the licensee (person or club), mailing address,
operating location if different from the mailing address. (Address, GPS
coordinates, 6-digit grid, or Lat/Long) plus have a written signature of the
licensee, trustee, operator, QSL manager or appropriate person confirming the
specifics of the listed contacts. If a QSL card does not indicate the grid in
which the rover was operating, it should be added in pencil.
At frequencies below 1.3GHz (and satellite), any number of
stations in any number of grids may be worked. Above that frequency, target
stations worked must all be within the 300 meter circle as specified in the
VUCC rules. The location of the target stations must be indicated on their
cards by at least the four digit grid, or preferably their lat/long or some
other indication that they were inside the same circle. The rover, of course,
is required to move around. Endorsements above the basic award may be
submitted just as in VUCC.
All cards and forms, along with appropriate self-addressed
packaging with enough postage for return of the cards plus a business sized
envelope or larger if no folding is wanted, should be sent to: Bill Wageman

Stations operating portable outside their assigned DXCC entity (e.g. PA1SIX as I2/PA1SIX) will count as a separate callsign.
Endorsements are issued in increments of SIX (ie. 6, 12, 18, etc.) and a new certificate will be issued with the endorsement. Send ONLY those QSLs that qualify you for the targeted endorsement- No more, no less. Submit copies of the QSLs and sufficient funds to cover return postage to: WN3SIX at the most recent callbook address. Recommended amounts are US $3.00 for US and Canada, US $4.00 for foreign (air). Award and QSLs will be shipped in a sturdy mailer to insure the award is NOT FOLDED. For those that don't care: US and Canada $2.00 and foreign air $3.00 (Your award will be folded into an envelope along with your QSLs). No IRCs If you are worried about lost QSLs* then please ship insured and submit sufficient postage for QSL return in the same manner.
Please e-mail wn3six at wn3six@gmail.com for any last minute postal rate changes, etc before final submission.
