[CQ-Contest] Grid Square is the coolest exchange ever, after Sweepstakes

[Robert Brandon]

I got thrown a few times this weekend when I received on CW . . .

"Dit      Dah Dit"  (type EN . . . waiting for numbers)
"DM06"

Huh?

Best to avoid that swingy little "R" in a VHF contest!

And grid squares are really fun when you use cut numbers!

I  realized one reason why I really enjoy the Stew Perry TBDC 160 contest 
and the  VHF test is that the exchange is Grid Square. No useless RST, no 
autofill  unless you use history files and a challenging mix of numbers and 
letters -  you actually have to listen to what the other person sends.
