Re: How do I discern Maidenhead Locator from GPS lat long info.
BTW, what are you building? Mine was an idea when I was driving around talking on Amateur Radio Satellites. We were in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and I was waiting for my wife to come out of a store. There happened to be an AO-51 pass happening right then, so I made a couple of contacts - only I had NO IDEA what my grid square was! I used my Winnipeg one, and thought "it would be nice to have a handheld, GPS-based unit that displays your current grid square to 6 digits". And the idea was born. I'll get to it, probably right after I finish the smoker controller I'm working on right now.
Did you happen to notice how I list my location on the forum? I guess great minds really DO think alike!
