Let me see if I might still have some paper logs so I can answer
your question more accurately (my memory can be faulty at times --
especially details that are two years old) but here goes from memory<br>
<br>
By voice, xxxxEast yyyyNorth (enunciating the "east" and "north").
The search area was typically within a mile or two radius of the
command center. Usually a maximum of 6 or 8 man/dog teams would be
fielded for a search. If the first day search was unsuccessful, the
follow-up searches would use either a different center or a larger
radius, depending upon the nature of the situation and the terrain
(and desires of NH F&G).<br>

need to understand what we mean by “digits”... 5 or 6 digits

you mean that teams were reporting each meter of movement by
voice? I thought a “3 digit” report was to the nearest 100
yards just generally reporting the team’s position (dropping
the two LSB digits.) or was it dropping one LSB and
reporting to the nearest 10m?</span></p>

#5 would not change after the searcher left the staging area
so might be unnecessary.<br>
<br>
Since the coordinates are used to record the track actually
taken by the searcher, the least significant digis are
important. The group with which I was affiliated for a couple
of years used the 5 or 6 digits on their periodic reports back
to the search coordinator. It is important (for legal reasons
post search) to be able to have the most accurate track
possible. LE (law enforcement, in the case of New Hampshire,
the Fish and Game Department) requires accurate tracks to be
archived.<br>
<br>
Have you considered addressing SAR groups with your proposals
and getting their input? It is one thing for a bunch of hams
to come up with a method; quite another to have something that
actually would be useful and acceptable to those with the
boots on the ground.</p>
