Default Some improvements to my Airport Information website

2KA wrote:
As I previously announced (see my posting on April 1), I have built a
little website that publishes US airport information that has been
extracted from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource
subscription files. The site supports several different output
formats including SeeYou .CUP, Cambridge Aero .DAT, and .NDB for the
SN-10. You can also find some hints there for using the data in
Volksloggers and generic Garmin GPS units.


I like the AWOS frequencies in the comments - that's useful. Some of the
other details about the runways may help, too.

I suggest another choice for airport area selection: "Entire USA". I
travel with the glider to other areas so I use airports from many area,
and I sometimes look at IGC flights from around the USA, so that's what
I use in SeeYou. In the meantime, I could make a task file with a
turnpoints in Washington state, Maine, Florida, and California, and
accomplish almost the same thing.
