 HG> GE Ed,

 EV> I suppose everyone knows about the Maidenhead Locator System but me.

 HG> If you want to see where you are in the Maidenhead locator, surf to
 HG> www.dxmaps.com and choose the part of the world,you want to see.

The other day I found another website that shows Maidenhead Locators for
the Earth.
After saving this message I will look for the URL and enter another message
to You with it.

 HG> I have not checked if you also can convert your latitude and longitude
 HG> to your own locator, but if not holler, and I'll find out a program for
 HG> you.

I found a webpage to do that also.

 EV> I used QRZ.COM and learned that the place I remembered in the EJ
 EV> grid is also in the EM78 grid, it just has a different set of Lower
 EV> Case Letters after it than what my location has.

 EV> Oh, O.K., I was thinking Mdh and HamGrid were the same.
 EV> I sit corrected (again).   Thanks.

 HG> Maybe they are, but I don't know the MdH locator by that name.

Look up Your Call Sign on QRZ to see the Ham Grid map.
It isn't the map on the top right side, HamGrid is the second map below that
first one.
