[NLRS] W9FZ Rover sites on Google maps

I've been meaning to do this for a long time. I spent some of my vacation
preparing sharable maps of rover sites I've used or heard about.  Glen
KC0IYT's earlier work on these issues was my roadmap (links below).

If you have Google Earth installed, and click on the following link:
http://w9fz.com/ham/w9fzroversites.kml 
You will view the sites in Google Earth. 

I think it's better to view them in Google Maps. For that, you have to
copy that link URL and paste it into the http://maps.google.com/ search
box.

In time I can see embellishing more details. I also have to add the
Milwaukee spots I've used.  And I'll have some  more Illinois sites to
add after this weekend :-) .

I don't want or intend to become a keeper of all rover sites.  Someone
else can do that and they are free to harvest my spots.  But in the
meantime, perhaps this resource will be helpful to someone.

I give Credit to Glen KC0IYT for leading the way on this kind of shared
info.  You can see his maps at:
