I don't have a problem with a sub-grid that's 3 X 3 meters in size. I have
an app on my phone that gives me Maidenhead grids to 10 characters. The
thing about this 3-word thing is that there's no sense to it. You have to
have a decoder program to tell you where a specific location is.

At least I know that EN50uc64rb is close to EN50uc64sa. :-)

This whole idea of the 3 words seems completely useless to me.

73, Zack W9SZ
