I heard back from Greg Sarratt, W4OZK, who is my Division Director and an 
active VHF weak signal operator/contester. 

According to Greg, "Myself and a few other Division Directors brought up the 
issue of adding VUCC to Logbook of the World. The league has hired a couple of 
new programmers, but want to get the new website completed before tackling more 
changes to LoTW". 

So, judging from his reply, I wouldn't expect to see this anytime soon. Greg 
did express that he "felt my pain and wants to get VUCC added also". 

So, democracy in action. You don't always get the answers you want, but if you 
participate in the process, you usually can at least get your voice heard. I 
applaud Greg Sarratt and the other directors who were willing to bring this up. 

My suggestion would be to quiz you Division Director and ask him to go on the 
record as to if he supported this request. If he didn't, ask him why...and then 
organize the VHF men in your area to change his mind. 

Without a doubt, other priorities will rise up again to derail getting this 
done, unless we continue to make sure that our duly elected officials know our 
wishes. As Thomas Jefferson used to say, "People get the government that they 
deserve". 

Did you do your part? 

73,

Les Rayburn, N1LF
