I don't see not having a GPS a problem unless you are on the move. The
only drawback might be the requirement of exchanging a 6 digit
grid. Personally, I'd like to see 6 digit grids exchanged anyway since it
is a near requirement for uhf and up work anyway. If you don't know your 6
digit square, then you should take the time to find out.
