I've written a fortran 77 program to
determine the VUCC Grid Location
given latitude and longitude.
 
Example: 40d 46.9m N  74d 41.4m W = FN20ps
 
See QST, Jan 83, "VHF/UHF Century Club",
by W1XX, page 49.   The definitions
given for the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th
characters are mathematically incomplete.
I had to call ARRL to find unambiguous
descriptions.

The program is a bit long to put
out on the net unless there is
sufficient interest. (About 100 lines,
about half comments)
If anyone is interested I can
send them a copy from whuxb.
The links for mail, usend, uucp, etc. to/from
the new gummo unix seem to be gummed up.
