As I near the 488 grid square goal for FFMA on 6m and above, the Lower48 grids are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Would it be possible for a selector where I can enter the basic 4 character grid squares for those I need? I have found HamAlert to be really useful to fill in my wanted DXCC Challenge Points as well as a few ATNO’s, and hope to be able to use it to close in on that 488 number for FFMA as well. Thanks.

This was discussed last year. I am also chasing FFMA. Would love it.

Actually, I think this has been discussed more than once before

I also have been hoping for this for couple years.
