Might be a dumb question, but would you then just report your location as
all four grids?

 Hi Lee and the BB,

 I have not worked the quad grid yet, but have been plotting a couple
 locations.
 I have worked and confirmed two Mexican stations in the past, XE1SDK and
 XE1AZJ.  They included the photo of the gps on their qsl cards.  Always a
 plus
 with the card checkers.

 Thanks for DN42 yesterday.  As they say, Go for it.  You will make some
 happy campers on the birds.

 73 all,

 Hi folks,

 I was wondering if anyone has operated from one point where four grid
 squares meet.  There is a location just a few miles to the west of where I
 operated portable from yesterday in Idaho where DN31, DN41, DN32, and DN42
 meet.  The terrain looks a little rugged but in about a week or so I'm
 going
 to drive back up there and check it out with my GPS.  It looks like the
 location is off the dirt road about 1/4 mile so there will be a little
 hiking involved.

 It is quite a learning curve but if you can hang in long enough you can do
 it.

 The bug has now put a big bite on me
