I have been having fun with Google Earth.
You can download it and then upload a file with a Pin for any Ham who has
put his QTH into the system.
Downloads are at: http://earth.google.com/
After you go to your QTH and zoom in, you can read the direct latitude and
longitude from the bottom of the screen.
Then go to: http://www.qslnet.de/member/hb9tlk/hamweb.html follow the
directions
and put in your location... BE SURE to change Longitude from East to West
or you will have a Pin in the Gobi Desert in China.
Hope you like this.
Look for C6AHR where I operated at in theBahamas with N4BP and K4PG
