The main problem with automating a lot of this stuff is accuracy. People
move and neglect updating their info until it is time to renew. Or they do
portable operations (I do this a lot as my work takes me to different
areas, most in same call area, but different state or county.) I spent last
summer in North Dakota, but people would contact me after ft4 or 8 QSOs
telling me they needed Nebraska (my home state) for WAS even though I sent
the grid I was actually in, but they looked me up on QRZ. I suppose I
should post a note about that on there. Am off to another temporary QTH
next week for 6 months.
