Well, Ed, Buckmaster IS on the web, I tried it out--and found enough 
inaccuracies in just the first two callsigns tried to indicate that 
anyone who lives pretty close to a gridsquare boundary--an integer value 
of lattitude or an even integer value of longitude--should check his 
location and gridsquare a bit more carefully. Rick, N6ND sent info 
indicating that the Microsoft positioning S/W was more accurate. I used 
a 15 min projection from USGS.
