// Package maidenhead implements the maidenhead locator system.

//
|
|
// The Maidenhead Locator System (a.k.a. QTH Locator and IARU Locator) is a geocode system used
|
|
// by amateur radio operators to succinctly describe their geographic coordinates, which replaced
|
|
// the deprecated QRA locator, which was limited to European contacts.
|
|
//
|
|
// Maidenhead locators are also commonly referred to as QTH locators, grid locators or grid
|
|
// squares, although the "squares" are distorted on any non-equirectangular cartographic
|
|
// projection.
