With regards to 5 Band VUCC.   I think that satellite VUCC (100 QSOs) is
just another band.  (more accurate - Sat is a mode)

The ARRL identifies 10 VUCC bands between 50 MHz and 10 GHz.  Satellite is
just the 11th VUCC band.

Complete VUCC in any 5 bands and earn the 5BVUCC.  Am I missing something?

Has anyone completed VUCC in all 11 bands?
