Spelling Out Airport Names Re: [MilCom] 225.0 MHz

[Ken]

Depends how much time the poster of the original message has to post the 
information.  He did indicate his monitoring location in the message --  
although Northville probably isn't a place we all would readily know!!! :)

HOWEVER, in less than one minute using www.google.com  & inputing KALB the 
answer is found or just keep www.airnav.com  readily available to get a more 
exact answer.  Also google maps can be used 
http://maps.google.com/maps?tab=wl

Sometimes it's the "intrigue" of finding out where that actual monitoring 
location is as well as gaining the reseach skills in finding the answer.

I personally have no problem if log posters etc use 4 letter airport codes 
or whatever as long as they post some information to the list and not just 
lurk!!!!

Monitoring Location:  Very close to KCEF  :)
