Re: [amsat-bb] Counting Grid Squares

[Bruce Paige <kk5do@xxxxxxxxx>]

For VUCC, we only use the Field (first 2 letters) and the 2 numbers 
(locater). The following 2 letters are only the sub-field which further defines 
your location within the Grid Square but not used for VUCC awards. 
Therefore, a Grid Square consists of 2 letters and 2 numbers as in EL29.
