[NLRS] What is my 6 digit Grid?

[Duane - N9DG]

For another possibility for finding your QTH's Lat/Long:

http://www.topozone.com/

It has USGS Topo Maps that you can zero to within literally
feet of your QTH. Also provides several different coordinate
formats, UTM, DD.DDD, D/M/S, DD MM.MM.

For another program that I didn't see mentioned that can
convert Lat/Long to grids, or grids to Lat/Long, or distance
between grids, or bearings see:

http://www.w1ghz.org/

Download the BD_2004 program, it's not fancy but works great.
