VHF/UHF Century Club

The VHF/UHF Century Club, or VUCC, is an award granted by (and registered trademark of) the American Radio Relay League. The award is given to those amateur radio operators who successfully complete amateur radio communications with other amateur radio stations in a specified number of Maidenhead grid locators. The Maidenhead locator system divides the Earth's surface area into a grid of locators that are each 1° latitude by 2° longitude in size. For the 50 MHz and 144 MHz awards, the minimum number of grid locators is 100, the number from which the award derives its name.

The VHF/UHF Century Club award was created on January 1, 1983. The award is available to amateur radio operators worldwide although US applicants must be ARRL members.

Famous quotes containing the words century and/or club:

    To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
    Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)

    In another year I’ll have enough money saved. Then I’m gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I’m gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re safe.
    Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
