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.
What's to stop echanging the 6-char grid in a message, rather than relying on having it in the software config?
