The VUCC award is given for contact with a minimum number of Maidenhead grid locators per band.  For further explanation and information please view the VUCC Rules.

Note: Click here to find your grid square.

Applications for the VUCC can be checked by approved ARRL DXCC Card Checkers.

Your grid square is identified in your station location in TQSL. It is not part of your certificate.

To add or change your grid square (or US State and County) simply edit your station location.

If you operated from a grid boundary or corner you can add up to four adjoining grids to one station location by separating the grid with a comma.

Example: DM76, DM75, DM86, DM85
