Yes, did some more digging and found that out. There is a nice recap on the GC5KW17 cache page as well. Thanks for a quick reply. One of our local puzzle lords put one out based on that math and now we are all exploring that little bit of geo history.

 

The primary reason why those certain letters were omitted is because they are easily visibly confused with other characters: a lower-case "L" can look like a "1", "S" looks like a "5", etc. There was also thought given to preventing the automatic creation of obscene words (in English).
