Has anyone done an update to the most wanted grids survey that was
done a few years ago?

The reason I'm asking is that my son is a programmer and I asked him
how difficult it would be for users to enter up to 10 of the most
wanted grids.  The biggest problem that I see is that most likely no
one would go in and clear out grids once they have confirmed them.

He said that such a database is easy to do and also agrees that the
only way to make an online database like that to work is to have it
automatically purge,  something like one year after a grid was
entered.  This would require everyone once a year update their list.
Personally I don't see that as a big deal but I know how hams will
bitch about the most mundane tasks.

Anyway I was just curious since some of the really rare ones have been
activated over the past 5 years I was wondering how that old map would
look now.
