[SixClub] Which Grid Location Should I Use?

[kd4e]

Yours comes up "Grid: EL29gq" whether I use your
street address or your call.

It turns out that the Ham hosting the site is
now chatting with the folks at QRZ.

If I go to QRZ they provide the same grid square
address as the Maidenhead site, but when the
Maidenhead site polls QRZ for the grid square
(based on my call) QRZ is shipping-out an
incorrect result.

Some sort of glitch in the software that they
surely will work out in short order.  Meanwhile
I will go with the one they agree on!
