can you give me some coordinates? upper left and lower right corner of the area would be enough.


On the turnpoint list they're using for the 18m Nationals, the range of
latitude is 34d08' to 36d08' North and the longitude range is 78d34'
to 81d59' West. I'd extend that about 50km so that any possible AATs
would not go too close to the edge. As it is I gave Sean the map I
generated last summer for flying in that area (which overlaps my home
area somewhat).

Actually, how are the "permanent" areas on the map decided? This year
Region 5 in the US is hosting the most contests of any region in the
country (Seniors, R5N, 18m, R5S, R5W, and Standard) but yet there aren't
any maps for the region unless you generate your own.
