I think the photo of the GPS is only necessary when operating from a grid boundary or intersection. If you know where you are by using a map, and claim only one grid, that is perfectly fine! I know EK34 and 44 would be new grids for me, so by all means get on the air! 73, Drew KO4MA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
