Sounds good.  I like the idea of 1 point per km.  Although I would suggest 
adding weighting for the upper bands.   It's much more difficult to make a 200 
km contact on 2304 than six meters...

How about a an option to log the center of the 4 digit grid in case the 6 digit 
grid is not known?  So if I work a station in EM78 that doesn't know his 6 
digit, I can log him as EM78gg or whatever the actual center is:-)  This will 
"mis-calculate" the score a bit, but might help solve the transition to 6 digit 
grids...
