Can you be in at once? I mean we are pretty small on the scale of things, so
how can you give out more than one grid square at a time?? I mean really, I
hear it all the time. What do you do, put your antenna on one grid square, run
some coax over and set your radio up on the other grid? Ok
Yes. It happens frequently.
From the VUCC rules:
Stations who claim to operate from more than one grid locator simultaneously
(i.e., from the boundary between two grid
locators or from the intersection of four grid locators) must be physically
present in all locators to give multiple locator

Kevin,

What do you do, put your antenna on one grid square, run some coax

I found the following in my workshop that need to go:
1 ea. CalAmp 31881 (not sure which crystal is installed, but I'd guess

1 ea. CalAmp 31732 (I don't think I modded this one) $30 OBO +shipping
1 ea. DEM 13ULNA $80 OBO +shipping
I also have a solid copper 5 1/2-turn

Thanks for the info anyway. Very nice pass this
KD4ZGW/m will be operating from EM60, EM61 and EM62
on Tuesday 5 April. Look for Rob on SO-67, AO-51
and AO-27. QSL to his QRZ.com address and be sure to
include his grid as well as yours on the card. Rob is
one of a handful of operators who has qualified for the
satellite Reverse VUCC award
