If I told you my grid 
(what ever the hell it is)
would you know my QTH without getting out a map?

If I told you my QTH is in the north east corner 
of Missouri would you need a map?

I just dont see what good it is.

  I hope you were just joking..
  If not, then I suggest you borrow/buy/steal a 
copy of the ARRL operating manual and read about
it, or point your internet browser in this 
direction:

No excuses, but the reasons I posted my
grid square were:
1. I was asked where my grid square was
   by someone on AO-27
2. I reside in Texas, but my callsign is
   a Guam call. Yes, I am going to change
   my call when I upgrade to General soon.
