I have a silly question ...

Based on some mapping programs that display lat/long to the decimal minute, it
appears my QTH is at exactly 86 deg 50' 00" north long. This puts me on the
border of a subGrid (EM65nv or EM65ov) A GPS might help, but accuracy is
within 100 ft, I think, and we might be within that error.

Do I just pick one? are the "sub" grid squares important for anything?
