Re: Contest Exchanges and the ol' 5X9

I think the international grid locator system is the ideal exchange for all 
contests. This is now being used in most VHF contests, it tells all particapants 
exactly where each station is located (within a 2 degree X 1 degree) accuracy.  
No more asking, where was that guy located Zone 3 or 5 (like N6AR/4) and also no 
need to send any / or identify your station as portable what-ever.  ie: my home 
location is DM13.  It is a short,  but it contains a "real" exchange of 
information.
