Greetings from a native Hoosier.  I hope you are high and dry up there.

When I first began working on VUCC, I marked them off on a ARRL grid map and 
maps I found on the internet for other countries.  When I started computer 
logging, I discovered DXKeeper from DXLab which tracks DXCC, VUCC, USA-CA, 
and other awards.

When you have enough confirmed grids to apply for VUCC, contact the ARRL 
checker in your area about the paperwork they require.  Some checkers will 
accept the lists generated by logging programs, such as DXKeeper, while 
others will accept only the ARRL forms.
