[Antennas] RE: Laminated Callsign Map

Thu, 16 May 2002 11:23:45 -0500

A number of years ago, I got a World map from the ARRL, azimuth
equidistant projection centered on Kansas City, which will give you a
distance and bearing for any point on the Earth from the center.  As I
live in the Chicago area, this is good enough.  It was 24" x 36",
suitable for framing (I use it on a cork board) but probably too big for
as desk.

AS far as a callsign map, it looks like it would be out of date every 6
months!
