Hi Hank,
the exchange of locators is included as a means of enhancing
scoring, i.e. some sort of points per distance arrangement, and
this has already been adopted for some contests using the RTTY RU
format. Your suggestion is not a valid standard message in the
FT8/FT4 message source encoding so would not work for callsigns
containing more than 4 characters due to the 13-character free
text message limitation.

why? the exchange contains the state ... many people these days 'collect' grid squares, so that is an additional bit of information provided by the current format.

I have the State ID turned on in JTAlert, and found it very easy to see their location.
