I maintain a website www.lvhamtest.org which lists Amateur Radio VE teams in southern Nevada, namely Las Vegas, Pahrump, and Amargosa Valley. Each team has an individual page detailing contact info and location of the exams. For the big city Las Vegas and for tiny Amargosa Valley (population 1,456) I embedded interactive maps from Mapquest.com. But I could not do this for team pages for Pahrump (population 35K). The exams are located at the county emergency management building at 1510 Siri Lane. Most of the internet mapping sites do not know of the existence of Siri Lane; they call this street Vagueros. One did know of Siri Lane, but was 1/2 mile off. So I resorted to using Windows Paint to draw a simple map for use on this team page. See www.lvhamtest.org/p1.html Dick Grady, AC7EL |
