2021 Spring VHF-UHF Field Day

Yes, Roger, but the digital software (eg WSJT-X) can have a 6-char grid entered in it's configuration but only a 4-char data string is actually transmitted !!!!
Can't be done with 6 chars - software inhibited.

I agree with the concept of 6, but there are external limitations in place.

Have any work-arounds in mind - rules or other - to achieve the 6 char versus 4 char requirement and still have contest-accepted contacts ??

PS the internet-based reporting process uses all 4, 6 or 8 chars (as available in the config) but only 4 are TXd.
