Might look like:
Standard/SH Off Standard/ SH On Contest/SH
Off Contest/SH On
60s 0 7 E L
30s 1 8 F M
15s 2 9 G N
10s 3 A H O
5s 4 B I P

Reserved 6 D K R
Comments welcome.
Hi Bill,
Joe and Steve can confirm but I think this will be hard to shoehorn in.
The encoding of callsigns and grids along with the substitution of type
3 compound callsigns for grid data may not leave enough code space for
28 new permutations of code word. For sure trying to map it by using a
whole letter in the plain text space is not optimal and working in the
codeword space is more likely to be successful. For example can 28 grid
locator values be freed and is there equivalent space in the
prefix/suffix encodings?
