Re: [amsat-bb] Grid Rules

[Jon Ogden <na9d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's less than a km.  When N8KWX and I rove, we have a spot in Wisconsin on
the border EN64 and EN63 (or it may be EN54 and EN53 - I forget) where we
literally move back and forth between the grids just by moving the vehicle
about 25 feet.  Upon thinking of it, I think the only requirement is that
the station be located (antennas and all) ENTIRELY within one grid.  So
being right on a border or corner would not count.
