[Elecraft] Grid square / QRZ.com caution

Hi Cleve,

It -may- be EM12ox -but- since your QRZ address is a
PO box it's likely computed to somewhere -other- than
your actual location.  It would be a rare case where the
last two"digits" would be of importance for the sake of
the VUCC award.

I've found that many QRZ.com grids are not correct, and
often are off by miles!  I took my LAT and LONG from the 
GPS in the car parked in the driveway and then corrected 
them on QRZ.  Now the QRZ map literally points to the car
in the driveway. (:-))

73! Ken
