I first worked VU4 in 1961 with VU2NR as VU2NRA. There were several on
today but NIL here. I heard one French station thank a VU4/VU3 (on 14250)
for his 50th QSO this week!

Ouch!

I finally got 'em on 20 CW this morning - and since I wasn't around in
1961 (OK, I was, but was 2 years oldgrin) they're an alltime new one.

During the half-hour or so I spent in line calling, I heard them work
two stations I'd heard them work before on the same band/mode last week.
I do think it was a different VU3 call though. (not that that's much
consolation to those of us who were beginning to think we'd still need
VU4 when they went home!)
