I think LoTW is a nice beta. They really should release the full
version now. LOL!
Grid squares should have always been a column in that DB with
multiple entries tied to the contact unique ID. They made it a
single field.
It's an example of: Once you screw up designing the DB schema, it's
screwed up for life. :-)
