[VHFcontesting] VUCC Card Checking Question

[aa4zz at aol.com]

Malcolm's point may be valid in? Europe. In the states the VUCC card checker is looking for a 4 Digit grid on the card to match with a list of 4 digit grids. The important thing is to have the 4 digit gird (EM95) very visible on the card. I've gotten some cards where it takes a long time to find the 4 digit grid among the Ten-Ten numbers, club memberships, awards, ect.

The higher accuracy the better.  In Europe 6 digit grid references are  
required as a minimum for distance calculations for contest scoring.  For  
microwaves 8 digits helps aiming and improves the accuracy of the distance  
calculation..  The greater the accuracy the less chance there is of the  checker 
voiding 
it for vagueness.
 
Just my 2 penny or cents worth
