Icom Grid Square Tips:1. Say your grid square location when operating on VHF & UHF bands.
2. Many portable GPS receivers can read out Maidenhead* grid squares automatically.
3. Say your grid square letters phonetically. Example: for grid 13 in region DM say “delta, mike, one, three” on air.
4. Give your general location along with your grid square.
5. Have fun on VHF & UHF!*An instrument of the Maidenhead Locator System (named after the town outside London where it was first conceived by a meeting of European VHF managers in 1980), a grid square measures 1° latitude by 2° longitude and measures approximately 70 x 100 miles in the continental US. A grid square is indicated by two letters (the field) and two numbers (the square).. “ From ARRL source: http://www.arrl.org/locate/gridinfo.html
