No, That would not be useful, but a bunch of canned messages that resemble grid
square numbers would be useful, especially when locations are preplanned. Look
at all the Q Codes associated with a SOS, and you'll get some ideas.
Ex. Exchange
AA4FL KX4TT QTCC (locations are preplanned so AA4FL knows where I am)(Second
C means Critical)
KX4TT AA4FL QRV
AA4FL F8S6 (8 fatalities, 6 serious injuries) / AA4FL S3M0 (3 serious, 10 or
more minor)
KX4TT QTC (any more?)
AA4FL NIL
KX4TT RF8S6T (Received info, t can mean anything for transport available to
time-wait for instructions)
2nd example
AA4FL KX4TT QTC (locations are preplanned so AA4FL knows where I am)
KX4TT AA4FL QRV
AA4FL S3M0 (3 serious, 10 or more minor)
KX4TT NRM (TOTAL MINOR ?)
AA4FL M27
KX4TT R T15 (Received info, T can mean - will reply in 15 or transport should
be there in 15)

Just think about that....After some terrific disaster, you'll be able to tell
the outside world your grid square & signal report. Good luck with that...
