The line between CM97 and CN97 runs, I am not kidding you, right smack down the middle of the Snoqualmie valley. The Maidenhead grid locator for a location is just a different way of specifying the latitude and longitude of that spot on earth using the WGS84 datum. What grid square a location falls in is completely and clearly defined by the lat/long of that location, so I’m not sure what you mean by ’aren’t clearly defined’? -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

Re: N1ZZZ Redeye Ragchew
nd good, BUT if you check stations in same town using the "Grids" on the callsign box, you will get a few stations to choose from and most will have the correct grid for the town. That way you'll get a better selection for that grid; however, be careful because there are some stations who appear to be out of state having moved. I think this is a better way as sometimes grid lines aren't clearly defined. Jerry

Re: N1ZZZ Redeye Ragchew
That will work for most stations , but there are a few who have no idea of what their grid is when they're operating and some have no idea what a grid is. A few years ago a worked a station in Grackle ND and he had no idea what his grid was. Used the QTH part of QRZ to look up the town and checking the very few stations in and around town (all 3 were former residents and club members here in Illinois), I found out the grid . Sometimes you have to use all the resources. Jerry n9avy

Re: N1ZZZ Redeye Ragchew
John, I've got a bunch of MM contacts with no grid. That's too bad. I love to get those totally random, never-to-be-worked again grids. This group has made me grid-conscious like I've never been
before. The CQ VHF contest is this weekend and I'm hoping to fill
in a few on 6m. I just put up a M2 6M3 for the occasion. 73 Eric KG6MZS

Re: N1ZZZ Redeye Ragchew
Steve, Nice catch on the ZD8JA contact. I only have one ZD8 in my log. ZD8Z on Ascension Island. I've done a fair amount of multi-day regattas and boat deliveries and I really enjoy the middle watches I've done. Something about being out of sight of land in the middle of the night at the helm that can be magic. It can also be pretty miserable sometimes, too. Anyway we had a bit to talk about given our maritime experiences. We'd both read John McPhee's "Waiting for a Ship" and we talked about that. Fun stuff, this PSK. 73 Eric KG6MZS

Eric -
Twice--once in 2003 when he was somewhere (FL26) in the Atlantic, and then again in 2014 during a contest (!) and I'm not sure where he was.
Also worked him a few times as ZD8JA, as well as stateside in multiple states.

One night last March I couldn't sleep so I got up in the wee hours and checked out the waterfall on 40m. I had the good fortune to catch up with Jeremy N1ZZZ - 070#50. He was MM in the South China Sea as master on a container ship. We had a nice, long QSO and it was one of the reasons I love PSK. Anybody else ever catch N1ZZZ at sea? 73 Eric KG6MZS

Many of you have already received your envelopes with

We mailed close to 250 envelopes with stickers in them, and to date, three have been returned as bad addresses. I need to confirm the correct mailing address with the following to ensure our records are correct. N8FL - our data has your address as RT1 Box 130a1 in Glenwood WV. It was returned to sender. N3UYI - our data has your address as 247 Sweet Gum Drive, Chelsea AL WB8YXF - We have you as 3311 Galberry Rd. Chesapeake VA, it was forwarded to 233 Jessamine Pl MCGayheysville VA and returned. Please help us update our records to show the corrrect address. In a couple of cases, QRZ does not even match.

How about 40 right now? I'm afraid we're too close for 20, and 40 will go long very soon (if not already).
