Besides Reverse VUCC (or VUCC/R as the Society also calls it), Central States 
VHF Society ALSO sponsors an 
award for "Annual" VHF & Up activity...everyone starts anew on July 1st 
(through June 30th of the following year). Rather than Grids, though, it is 
States and Provinces that count (even though only "States" are referenced in 
the name).

Check out the CSVHFS "States Above 50 MHz" Award at:

http://www.csvhfs.org/CSVHFTST.HTML

Rules and results back to the 1995-1996 year are at that web page.

More participation would be welcome OR would someone/somegroup want to use that 
as a guide for an Annual Grid-based activity award? For example, I could 
envision something like Grids worked on higher bands getting a multiplier 
(similar to how it takes fewer Grids to achieve the VUCC awards on the higher 
bands, possibly along the lines of how QSO Point values increase in the VHF and 
UHF Contests).

Maybe it's not necessary to totally re-invent the wheel here.

Just some more 'fodder' for discussion.

73, JK
