    "content": "Hi Kevin,\n\nHere are the VUCC rules for operating from a boundary:\n\nhttp://www.arrl.org/files/file/Awards/VUCC%20Rules%202011_Rev%2020110215.pdf\n\n4. (e) Stations who claim to operate from more than one grid locator \nsimultaneously (i.e., from the boundary between two\ngrid locators or from the intersection of four grid locators) must be \nphysically present in all locators to give multiple\nlocator credit with a single contact. These stations should be prepared to \nvalidate their claim. For a mobile station,\nthis means parking the vehicle exactly on the line or corner. For a portable \nstation, this means that the total area\noccupied by the station's physical setup, including operating position(s), \npower source(s), and antenna(s), must\noccupy some portion of each of the two/four grid squares simultaneously. \nOperators of boundary/corner stations\nshould be prepared to provide evidence of meeting the simultaneous \noccupation test if called upon to do so. Two\nphotographs – one showing the placement of the GPS receiver in the station \nsetup, and a close-up legibly showing\nthe GPS reading – are typically needed as evidence of compliance. Video \nfootage showing an overview of the\noperating site and then, uncut and in real time, zooming in on the GPS \ndisplay coordinates is even better.\n\n(f) Grid boundary lines and grid corners must be established using a GPS \nreceiver whose map datum is set to WGS84,\nthe global default for current GPS receivers. The GPS receiver should be set \nto use WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation\nSystem) if so equipped, since this improves the error figure to as little as \n5 feet. In no case may the GPS receiver\nshow an error figure in excess of 20 feet. Any modern GPS receiver equipped \nwith WAAS will easily meet this\nrequirement, as will most older units without WAAS.\n\n\nMaidenhead grids measure 1 degree latitude x 2 degrees longitude, so it is \npossible to fine the intersection/boundary using a standard GOS receiver.\n\n73,\n\nZack\nKD8KSN\n\n-----Original Message----- \nFrom: Kevin Deane\nSent: Sunday, April 03, 2011 4:30 AM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] How many Grids\n\n\n\n\nCan you be in at once? I mean we are pretty small on the scale of things, so \nhow can you give out more than one grid square at a time?? I mean really, I \nhear it all the time. What do you do, put your antenna on one grid square, \nrun some coax over and set your radio up on the other grid? Ok boys, hear is \nDM09 and DM08!!! Her - ert duh, how about I drive to where the four corners \nof four grids meet, stand right in the middle of that and give out all four \nof them at once?\n\nIs this how it is done. Just does not seem right to me, seems like cheating. \nSeriously...Is there not some kind of rules or something?\n\nI think I will leave it at that before I get too offensive.\n\nKevin\nKF7MYK\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
