[amsat-bb] Re: What is the proper way to fill out a QSL satellite card

[John W Lee]

Hi Joe, 
Many stations do not have the grid printed on their cards.  I also
collect counties, and many don't have the county, either. 

But it is OK to look them up and write it in PENCIL on the back
of the card.  I think that's in the ARRL's rules for VUCC.   I got credit
for
all of those that I had to find it and write it myself.  

Also there are a lot of folks that still don't know what grid they're in!

That's probably OK if they're at home, but it they're out portable
or mobile it could be a problem trying to figure it out later.

73, good hunting! 
John, K6YK
