Hi Tom!

According to your listing in wm7d.net, your grid square is EN73GQ.

Of course, they do advise that is approximate. Make of that what you will.

73,
Dave

Tom,

Sorry I don't know of such a listing of grid squares.

I think you can probably find your grid on one of the online call sites.

I hope to be on sometime on Saturday night.  Hope to cross paths with you.
