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.

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
