Hi Tad,

 

I certainly can't give you a definitive answer to that deliminma, however if
it were me, I would surely do what you are 'guessing' and use QU.

Subject: [SECC] Question about 6 character grid squares.......

 


I was looking at the rules for the Spring VHF/UHF sprints and they want
everyone to use the 6 character Grid Squares if possible.  They provide a
nice link to F6FVY's app that combines Google maps with a Grid Square
locator.

I went into the app and the line between EM73QV and EM73QU literally bisects
my house.

My house faces north and the north half of the house is in EM73QV and the
South half of the house is in EM73QU.  The antennas are all on the South
side of the house so I'm guessing I should use EM73QU.

 

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

 

Thanks, 73, Tad, WF4W
