Hi Fellas,
If you need rules for distance scoring then take a look at _www.vhfcc.org_
(http://www.vhfcc.org) which is the UK RSGB VHF contesting site. Download
the
General and Special rules and the VHF Field Day Rules.
6 digit Maidenhead locators are used and are easily available on a number of
GPS units and can easily be calculated from Lat/Lon available on virtually
every GPS and from Maps and to 10 characters on Google Earth.
Computer logging is not a necessity as the adjudication software does the
scoring anyway, it helps and enables people to put up their own claimed scores
for others to see.
The systems are well tried and tested in the UK and Europe and whilst there
are biases in the system brought about by demographics we have learned to
live with them or have moved our contest sites to suit!
Regards
Malcolm
