As others have already cited, the VUCC rules\nspell out how you would do that, how to document that you are on the\ngrid boundary or intersection, and what's needed from a GPS receiver\nfor that documentation.\n\nThe VUCC rules indicate you can either record a video that shows the\nstation and a closeup of the GPS receiver sitting in the station with the\nlatitude/longitude on the display, or take a couple of photos of the station\nincluding the GPS receiver along with a closeup of the GPS receiver's\ndisplay. I opt for the latter, as that takes less memory on the camera\n(or phone) than a video clip. Photos are easier to e-mail if anyone has\na question regarding my station location. They're also easier to work\nwith when I make my QSL cards, where I generally include the GPS\nlatitude/longitude readout on the card along with a description of my\nlocation.\n\nI have posted examples of the photographic documentation from a\ncouple of these situations on a web page. These photos were from my\ntrip to Chicago last October, operating from the EN40tx/EN41ta grid\nboundary in western Illinois and the EN51xx/EN52xa/EN61ax/EN62aa\n4-grid intersection in the Chicago area during the 2010 AMSAT Space\nSymposium. The photos are at:\n\nhttp://www.qsl.net/wd9ewk/multi-grids/\n\nThe \"-1\" photos are the closeups of the GPS display at each location.\nThe GPS shows latitude/longitude, along with the accuracy figure\nmentioned in the VUCC rules. That figure is in the upper-right corner\nof those photos. The \"-2\" photos are the wider-angle views of my\nstation with the GPS receiver in there. I had my GPS powered on\nfor at least 30 minutes before reaching these locations, in order for\nthe GPS to be stable and have that low accuracy figure.\n\nIf you want to go to 4-grid intersections, take a look at this web site:\n\nhttp://www.confluence.org/\n\nChances are good you can get some hints and advice from those who\nhave already visited these locations in the past. Make sure to have the\nlatitude/longitude for the intersection when using this site.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n", "attachments": [] }
