As usual Quack Quack has words of wisdom. Someone else mentioned it, but I really like the idea of grid squares, ( based on the geographical center of each square ) and tie that to the scoring on a d
Do you know how complicated distance scoring could be...that 160 meter contest with grid squares is so complex you send in the Q's and the contest committee computes the score...and no paper logs all
