SJDXA members;
Today, John W2GD and the GOOD GD W1GD were at the site to move the NW
beverage, to check on the line noise situation, and to walk all of the
beverages, and get GPS readings of them.
John passed the readings along to me and I plotted them using GOOGLE EARTH.
I have attached an image.
We have discovered that the NE phased beverage is a bit staggered (about 100
feet) AND not parallel. It is about 305 feet apart at the feedline end, and
180 feet apart at the far end. They may also be different lengths (by about
30 feet). 
Also, you can see that they ran a new NW beverage on the south side of the
driveway instead of the north side. This was done to try to get it further
away from the power lines feeding the property.  It's aimed at about 300
degrees.
So that you can better read the map, the RED lines are signifying the sought
direction for the particular beverage (ie NW=315degrees) etc. The various
colors are the actual beverages based on the GPS readings.

So, you can see that most are just fine, but this does give us all some room
for tweaking. I thought you would enjoy looking at the map.

Google Earth streams the world over wired and wireless networks enabling
users to virtually go anywhere on the planet and see places in photographic
detail.  This is not like any map you have ever seen.  This is a 3D model of
the real world, based on real satellite images combined with maps, guides to
restaurants, hotels, entertainment, businesses and more.  You can zoom from
space to street level instantly and then pan or jump from place to place,
city to city, even country to country.

Get Google Earth.  Put the world in perspective.
