Why QRA Locator - QTH Locator ?
A bit of the story
Brian @G8ADD can agree ?
Maidenhead Locator System…
The “Maidenhead Locator System,” often shortened to “Locator,” is a location system used by amateur radio operators. Its name comes from the small English town of Maidenhead, where the system was first proposed in 1980 by English amateur radio operator John Morris “GM4ANB” at a VHF operators’ meeting. It replaced the older QRA-locator (1959) and QTH-locator (1972) systems.
It allows for the transmission of a location using only a few characters, which is very useful for slow transmissions, such as Morse code, but is now used for all modes of communication, whether voice or digital modes.
