Simple sure ... elegant ... not really. If I were to leave say going north and run through the eastern side of one grid and come back on a different highway the following day, presuming a two day run

Mike adds, IMHO ... Back in the late 70's a large number of new hams, at least those in the Houston area were, 11 meter SSB enthusiasts that got sick and tired of putting up with the linear lipped 10
