[CQ-Contest] Who is OL7D?

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

I would suggest letting someone on the QRZ.COM staff be aware of this unintended consequence.  
There may be an easy fix.  If there is, it may only take someone asking nicely to fix it.

That's what happens - it appears that when no grid square is present in 
its database, QRZ sends AA0aa, which is in Antarctica.  Obviously we 
need to fix this, because while not having a grid on QRZ's Details page 
is rare, it is not unheard of.  I think we should default to the center 
of the country or call area (for large countries)denoted by the 
callsign.  I have written to a couple of guys who may be associated with 
OL7D.
