Back in my county-hunting days I had purchased, from somewhere, a poster size black on white map of the continental USA with all counties shown. As each county was confirmed I could "color in" that county with a felt-tip marker. So I could quickly see if I needed a county heard on the air.
Is anyone aware of a similar commercially available map for the USA that shows grid squares which could be colored in as they were confirmed? How about for Europe or other areas?
Thanks. Tom, KØTW
Try DX Atlas....
it is not printed but you can track all contacted and confirmed grids with different colors... also it counts both cases....

Tom, I believe that the ARRL is still publishing a book that has the grid squares for the entire world.
Might be a bit of an overkill considering what you are looking for but that is your call.

The ARRL also has a nice wall map with the North American grids.
If someone could do one for AMSAT, it might be a good fundraiser!

The ARRL makes a very nice one on 11" x 17" inch paper for $1. It is their #1290. -- KK6MC James Duffey Cedar Crest NM
