[nrv-hams] Get 'Dem GRIDS! - CQ World Wide VHF Contest next weekend!

[Russell - Russ Abbey]

Hay Lance and Cam, I could never find the sub squares on Google for some
reason.  Of course Yaesu was still making the FT-847 back then also. :>)
So that was in 2008 they stopped making the 847, so I haven't done it
since I bought my 847 after that.  I'll give it a try today to see if it
comes up?
