[SixClub] Grid Square List?

You could use the VUCC grid checklist forms. Use one for each major grid
area (ie CM, CN, CO, DL, DM, DN, DO, etc.) just like you would do when
filling out for VUCC. Each sheet has 100 grid square entries per major grid
area. Only problem is it will grow into a large stack of pages quickly.
I keep my QSO Log using DX Lab Suite and it has many tools to allow me to
check status and manage my lists.
For operating, I use the Yaesu US Grid Map for the US, HI and AK. I mark
each grid square with a Sharpie pen (red) around its border and across the
square with half an 'X' (ie /) when I work them. I mark the other half (ie
\) of the 'X' when I send out a card. I color in the entire grid square RED
when I confirm it. Easy to see and read while operating. No need to worry
about reading a list and I can compare my map to the VHFDX.NET map for
openings to the areas I need or want. I can see at glance what has been
worked and what has been confirmed although not by callsign. For that, I
have to go to the logbook software.

I've found lots of Maps, Calculators,Conversion Tables, etc on the Internet,
but no lists at all. Maps are useless for tracking for me. I need a list of
Grid Squares hopefully in alphanumeric order. All help appreciated.
Yours in the Hobby,
