Bob- I converted the decimal fractions to minutes, and, to the nearest
minute (119 deg 47min, 39 deg 5 min) you are in DM09cb.

Thats the good news-- the bad news is that I think you are on the knife
edge of the square- I need to do some research on the little program to see
if it looks to the center of the block, or the edge.

W4BSG is "vanity" this time, but was 
earned by exam in 1954, the first time.
