[NLRS] dupe sheet specs

Last weekend we discussed the 10 mile rule a couple times during meals. 
Every time I suggested that sub-grids be used as part of the 
determination, I was told they don't matter but here we are using them 
to check for dupes.<g>

I'd still like to have the rule changed to something like "every new 
operating location must be a minimum 10 road mile move from the last 
operating location and every QSO must be from a different 6-digit 
sub-grid." This does penalize the southern states where sub-grids are 
larger, but I'm not sure how much the actual difference is.

73, Doug Reed, N0NAS.
