Bill and all,

The coordiantes for "AR - Laser North" on the map is only an approximation.
Since we have no "official" coordinates, I placed a loop on an overlay of the
Laser North ATCAA and tried to keep it within the boundry confines of the
North ATCAA.

This map is not meant to be the know all, end all, for the Northeast refueling
areas.  The base map was taken from the SUA website which provided the
positions for all the other "official" tracks and anchor patterns.  I made it as
a quick reference guide with frequencies for everyone.  I thought it may especially
help the people with scanners that don't have alpha tagging.  This way, they
could just look up the frequency and see what they are hearing on the map.

So, in conclusion, at least people can look at the map and get a general area
where the AR-Laser North anchor pattern is.

Sorry for any confusion.
