The contest is now distance based, the distance in km and thus the points, are determined by the center-to-center distance between the six digit grid squares. So, no, you shouldn't just guess where you are located.

If you know the sites where you will be operating you can find the six digit (actually 10 digit) grid square by looking at the https://k7fry.com/grid/ web site. Enter the four digit square and then zoom in to the actual QTH.

As Mary said, there are many Grid Square apps for any modern cell phone that has GPS built in.

Being out of contesting for a bunch of years, shat is eith the 6 digit grid square now for this contest. I understand it's easier to dial someone in, and if I were fixed it wouldn't be much of an issue, but as a rover without a GPS, do I just wing the last 2 digits?

I modulate, therefore I am! ...73, and all that jazz, Dave...N9TTX Always remember: "It could be worse.....it could be raining." Marty Feldman from "Young Frankenstein"
