[KCDXC] Grid Squares

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 02:27:42 +0000

I have used one of the Internet mapping programs to get
the Lat/Lon of various QTH's...found it to be quite
accurate.  There are "options" on some of the mapping
programs that will show the Lat/Lon.  I stumbled on
one site (now lost to me) that was used for the reporting
of birds...a watcher would punch in his address and the
the program would give the coordinates.
