[VHFcontesting] GPS Receivers and grid squares

[Keith Morehouse]

Dave, just download one of the numerous grid square apps for cellphones. If
you need the mapping provided by a standalone GPS, run them both.

I had to buy an older handheld GPS years ago to get readout in Maidenhead.
It's probably no different now.
