[TVARC] WW digi contest

[Rich Erlichman]

It’s the same thing, John.

The name “Maidenhead” makes reference to where the system was first proposed at a conference in Maidenhead, England, in 1980.

Does anyone know how a maidenhead grid 

square differs from a conventional 2 letter / 2 number grid square as you would normally 

deal with on FT4 / FT8? 

 

The ww digi contest on Saturday the 29th, 

wants to differentiate the number of maidenhead 

grid squares.
