VUCC

VUCC is the VHF and UHF gridsquare award. Tick VUCC under Award Settings. Award Info on the page is the short note, and it points at the ARRL rules. The number of squares you need depends on the band. Cloudlog shows the count. The certificate still comes from them.

Picture needed: award-vucc.png The VUCC table, a few bands, worked and confirmed columns visible.

What it reads

The other station's gridsquare, the locator on the contact. Your own locator is where you were. It does not add a square to this table. A contact with a blank locator is invisible here. VUCC grids, the extra squares when a station sits on a corner, are stored on the contact as well and count with the main locator.

The bands in the table are the VHF and UHF bands you have marked for VUCC on Bands, and that you have actually worked.

The table

Three columns: Band, Grids Worked, Grids Confirmed. Click a band, or click one of the numbers, and the squares for that band open. Worked and confirmed are separate links, so you can open just the confirmed set.

Nothing found means the active logbook has no VUCC grids yet, or the VUCC tick on those bands is off.

Gridmaster

Gridmaster is a different chase, in its own submenu once you tick the Gridmaster awards. UK, USA, Japan, Germany, and Luxembourg each have a page. The page is a map of the gridsquares in that country, worked, with a card, and on LoTW. The US award is AMSAT's GridMaster: all 488 grid squares in the contiguous United States via satellite. Award Info on each page is the note for that country. VUCC stays the per-band count. Gridmaster is the whole country.
