[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
it's a neat idea but it bugs the poo poo out of me because Maidenhead grids have been a thing for like decades and would have been just fine.

yeah thats the thing. grid squares are based on math so they can be encoded and decoded straight from lat/long. i do agree that 3 words probably have a better retention level in memory but also you're gonna start confusing them once you get past a half dozen or so anyways

i know dm04 and dm13 is southern cal, i'm in dm79, cm87 and cm88 are pacnw area, and jo69 is centered around the city of karlstad, sweden

yah. if you have the infra to keep the lookup table circulated, it's totally fine. i however am a beardy ham radio mountain dwelling hoarding prepper paranoiac, and gosh it'd suck if the truth table for that ever got corrupted
