Add GridLoc from LatLon

If you have a Main Log that has Latitude/Longitude values for each QSO but no corresponding Grid Locator values, you cannot view the grid-squares in the Grid Squares table, or plot them using the various Grid Squares menu-subitems.

A command has therefore been included that solves this issue, by creating 6-character Grid Locator values for each QSO in the Main Log that already has Latitude/Longitude values, but no Grid Locator value. Any existing Grid Locator values will not be changed.

To fill in missing Grid Locator values, click 'Main Log > Add GridLoc from LatLon'. After confirmation that you really do want to change your log-lines, the command will be actioned and the table refreshed.

If you then view the 'Grid Squares' tab-page, you will see that all the Grid Locator values have been added, and you can now plot the squares in a variety of ways using the various Grid Squares menu-subitems.
