I am still not sure about availability for this FD but have been getting a few things ready in case it becomes a viable option. I would be able to do 6/2/70 only using my turnstile bank if it comes to pass. ( http://www.vk4adc.com/web/index.php/vhfu...hf-uhf-fds )
What I did find useful was a Maidenhead Grid overlay option for Google Earth:

and it gives greater detail as you zoom in... Clicking on a spot produces :
The important detail is the 2nd last line : QG62IN00AA00
(the place on the map was picked at random)
I have also downloaded an App from the Playstore for the android phone so I can use it to give me the 6 char Maidenhead needed for the FD exchanges, unfortunately it does not 8 give char as an option.
