I know, Tom thinking.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">I was looking at the 6 meter FFMA award. 488 contiguous states. The deal <br clear="none">is, if even 100 sq feet of US land touches that grid, is is part of the <br clear="none">488.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">So I investigated Michigan. Please correct and challenge me on this, but <br clear="none">I show Michigan qualifies for 24 grids. They are:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">EN 58<br clear="none">EN 57 67<br clear="none">EN46 56 66 76 86<br clear="none">EN 55 65 75 85<br clear="none">EN 64 74 84<br clear="none">EN 63 73 74<br clear="none">EN 62 72 82<br clear="none">EN 61 71 81<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">We all know EN86 and EN67 have very small slivers of Michigan, well <br clear="none">check out EN58. The FFMA rules state that you just have to work the <br clear="none">grid, not necessarily a US ham inside that grid. Our Canadians friends <br clear="none">help us out on that.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">So I would like to ask the question. Has any one on this list worked all <br clear="none">24 Michigan grids, on all bands combined, 6 meter and above? Or even <br clear="none">just 6?<br clear="none"><br clear="none">I was surprised to see how few I've worked, part due to the doughnut <br clear="none">affect on 6.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Would it be interesting to look at a possible award for working all 24 <br clear="none">Michigan grids? (and maybe start at 16 and 20 grids?)<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Just curious on who has the bragging rights for the most Michigan grids.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Merry Christmas<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Tom K8TB<br clear="none"><br clear="none">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">MiVUS mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:MiVUS@mivus.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:MiVUS@mivus.org">MiVUS@mivus.org</a><br clear="none">subscribe/unsubscribe <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://mail.mivus.org/mailman/listinfo/mivus_mivus.org">http://mail.mivus.org/mailman/listinfo/mivus_mivus.org</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> </div> </div></div> </div></div></div></div></body></html>
