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...
