    "content": "Hi Tom-\nI helped overhaul the VUCC rules when I was at ARRL HQ.\n\nThis paragraph spells it out:\n\n\"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 credit with a single contact. These stations should be prepared to validate their claim. For a mobile station, this means parking the vehicle exactly on the line or corner. For a portable station, this means that the total area occupied by the station's physical setup, including operating position(s), power source(s), and antenna(s), must occupy some portion of each of the two/four grid squares simultaneously. Operators of boundary/corner stations should be prepared to provide evidence of meeting the simultaneous occupation test if called upon to do so. Two photographs -- one showing the placement of the GPS receiver in the station setup, and a close-up legibly showing the GPS reading – are typically needed as evidence of compliance. Video footage showing an overview of the operating site and then, uncut and in real time, zooming in on the GPS display coordinates is even better.\"\nSean Kutzko Amateur Radio KX9XAMSAT Volunteer Coordinatorhttps://amsat.org/volunteer \n\n    On Saturday, August 29, 2020, 11:48:39 AM CDT, Don KB2YSI via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]> wrote:  \n \n The VUCC rules (\nhttp://www.arrl.org/files/file/Awards/VUCC%20Rules%20April%202020.pdf)\nstate:\n\n(F) Grid boundary lines and grid corners must be established using a GPS\nreceiver whose map datum is set to WGS84, the global default for curif nt\nGPS receivers. The GPS receiver should be set to use WAAS (Wide Area\nAugmentation System) if so equipped, since this improves the error figure\nto as little as 5 feet. In no case may the GPS receiver show an error\nfigure in excess of 20 feet. Any modern GPS receiver equipped with WAAS\nwill easily meet this requirement, as will most older\n units without WAAS.\n\nOn Sat, Aug 29, 2020, 12:37 Tom Schuessler, N5HYP via AMSAT-BB <\[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> For my information, as I am not much of a rover, but  as I may be doing a\n> little local grid rove sometime next weekend by request, how far from a\n> grid\n> boundary can you be for it to count?  I found a 4 corners grid boundary in\n> my area, but it is way rural in a deep clump of vegetation with a dirt road\n> a couple hundred feet away.  What is the maximum deviation from an X\n> .000000; Y.000000 location for it to be legal as a 4 grid location?  I will\n> probably do a much easier 2 grid line location, but just wondering.\n>\n> Thanks much.\n>\n> Tom Schuessler, N5HYP\n> EM12ms\n>\n>\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
