Just a minor note here (not wanting to start bikeshedding):

The formal specification of the Maidenhead Locator System specifies
the use of only capital letters.

The locator system was last revised during the IARU Region 1 Conference
in Landshut in 2017. The Conference unanimously approved G4JNTs proposal
named "LA17_C5_17":

"IARU Locators should always be quoted and used employing all Upper Case
(Capital) letters."
