Maidenhead grid squares :) ? -- currently I'm at CN87tt34 (Courtesy of http://iphone.donaldhays.com/maidenhead/ iPhone application)
Not really intuitive, but pretty accurate.

Another one that would be more intuitive in the US/Can would be:

USUTSLC
USTXDFW1
CAABCLGY
CABCVANC

2 letter iso country code, 2 letter state/province code, 4 letters for individual units.

Alpha tags need to be really long, to handle large data sets.

I am trying to organize channels in my 2820 again and looking for a simple way to abbreviate the Names or Locations of repeaters. Zip Codes or Postal Codes may be OK in the US. IATA Airport codes may be OK except most mountain tops don't have airports. It looks like there a just around 500 G2 Gateways plus nearly 40 JA Gateways. Anyone else have a working system ? 73 steve nu5d
