Selecting EU VHF Contest will set the macros for 6 digit Grid Square,
but it's not quite right so you'll have to edit the macros anyway to just
send Call and "G6" for Grid 6. No serial numbers or other stuff.
I think it will be a waste of time because most ops won't set it up right,
so even if you do it won't count unless they send 6 digits too.

Is there a special option in WSJT for 6digit distant scoring I need to
implement?
Thanks SteveK1IIG
This is an even better grid mapper. You can get your 10-character grid from
this one:
