[net.ham-radio] What is my VUAC grid location ?

hanson@ihuxq.UUCP (02/08/84)

Where can I find out my ARRL VUAC grid location (those funny numbers
like EN-61) used for VHF and UHF co-ordinating? The maps I have seen are
too large a scale for me to figure out which of 4 squares I am in. I
don't have an official map - I've just seen pictures in QST, and from
all I can tell, I am very close to where 4 of the squares meet. I am on the
near southwest side of Naperville, about a half mile or so NE of the
intersection of 75th and Gartner, as the crow flies. Does anyone locally
know where those lines meet, and which side I am on, or at least how I
find out ?

Thanks,
