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...

Hi Dan,
It is important for participants to log only what they are told by the DX
station (don't synthesize, only report). I think that the center of a grid is
"LL" (e.g. - EM78LL). The trick is to get the DX station to send you EM78LL
rather than EM78 and you're golden. Try to educate them and convince them to
send "LL" until they find out what their real sub-square is (for the next
contest). If you're unsuccessful, then it needs to be a NIL. It's the only
way that I can think of to maintain the integrity of the logged data.
I'm still thinking over the proposal about weighting QSO values based on band.
There are Pro's and Con's each way.
Interesting thoughts, Dan!
