Hello all,

I used to think I could "fill in" the grid from online information...but
there are examples where the online information and the as-sent information
from the station did not match, possibly due a change of address, portable
operation, or something else.

So, now the most I will do is look back in history for a recent
exchange that happened to have the grid information.
