Also keep in mind you have some listeners from Texas. If we could inversely
apply the ratio of the widths of the 2 grids to my VUCC count on 24 GHz then
maybe I could catch up to KM0T but then he would want a handicap for my
using EME.  
All works out in the end.
Keep up the good work in the midwest. I wish we had the same activity down
here...It is a little lite at the moment.
Best Regards

Continuing this somewhat "off-topic-ness"...

Just remember that the subject applies to the WIDTH of Grid Squares in
Texas...

Thanks to N0UK's Maidenhead Grid Distance and Bearing Calculator at
chris.org

At 31 N, using EM21aa to EM31aa as the example, width is 190.6 km, 118.4 mi

At 45 N, using EN25aa to EN35aa as the example, width is 157.2 km, 97.7 mi

HEIGHT of Grid Squares remains the same.

73, JK
