Yes. It happens frequently. >From the VUCC rules:
Stations who claim to operate from more than one grid locator simultaneously (i.e., from the boundary between two grid locators or from the intersection of four grid locators) must be physically present in all locators to give multiple locator credit with a single contact. These stations should be prepared to validate their claim. For a mobile station, this means parking the vehicle exactly on the line or corner. For a portable station, this means that the total area occupied by the station's physical setup, including operating position(s), power source(s), and antenna(s), must occupy some portion of each of the two/four grid squares simultaneously. Operators of boundary/corner stations should be prepared to provide evidence of meeting the simultaneous occupation test if called upon to do so. Two photographs - one showing the placement of the GPS receiver in the station setup, and a close-up legibly showing the GPS reading - are typically needed as evidence of compliance. Video footage showing an overview of the operating site and then, uncut and in real time, zooming in on the GPS display coordinates is even better. 73 Glenn AA5PK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Deane" <summit...@live.com> To: <amsat-bb@amsat.org> Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2011 3:30 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] How many Grids > > > > Can you be in at once?
