Hello. Bruce, After re-reading it, I see I wasn't clear. My home and shack are 35 plus miles inside EM20.
I was referring to the 9-th and 10-th place on the grid square that is jk for the shack and JJ for the house. 73, Sam. N5AF .............................. Subject: Re: [BVARC] Taking Your Grid Square To 10 Places It is very rare for a house to split a Grid Square although it could. A Grid Square is two letters (base 18) followed by two numbers (base 10). This is referred to as the Field and Square. A subsquare (base 24) makes the location a bit more exact and another extended square (base 10) even more exact) Going further with extended squares only makes the accuracy of the point you are trying to identify more accurate. However, your Grid Square will never change, it is always the first two letters followed by the second two numbers. 73...bruce On 1/22/2017 5:00 PM, Sam Neal via BVARC wrote: > Hello, > > The detail/resolution is excellent - I can count the elements on my 6 meter > beam.
