Thanks, Fran, for the information. I thought EA4/ was more correct, based
on what I've been reading. And the grids quare information is helpful.
In the summer of 2012 I was fortunate to represent AMSAT-NA at AMSAT-UK
Colloquium and got to operate the GB4FUN station on the air. As I
remember, you all seem to use a 6 position grid squre (IO80pj for
example). Is that commonly done or is it optional, with the 4 position
grid square being considered acceptable?
Hope to work you on the air :)
73!
