Default World Map

Hey Dan: Well thats a good question. I am trying to figure out what
kind of map I should get. I like DXing, I subscribe to MT magazine. I
hate it after I pick up say an far away broadcast, get all excited
because of the distants, then to learn that it came through a near by relay.

If thats the case then at lease I would like to know more or less where
these relay are located as part of the hobby.

Dxing is a hobby to me. By having a hard copy map, I feel more
compleat. My radios & PC are in a small room here at home. And I have
two walls where I could place two maps.

My question is what are the the different kinds of maps I should have.

I know there are world maps with time zone, but what other information
should I look for in a map. World map that is!

Also, shouldn't I look for a map with latitudes? Please tell me which
maps I should get.

As for software, I do not care too much for it mainly because I would
have to keep my PC on most of my Dxing sessions. In fact I still use a
boatanchors, although I have an Icom R75.

I sort of have an old fashion approch to radio listening.

73, SR!

Everyone goes to
www.lib.utexas.edu/maps

But there are nice radio oriented ones at
www.qsl.net/ei8ic/maps/maps.html

and http://www.ac6v.com/opaids.htm#GCM
where you can get a somewhat useful custom
Great Circle Map (the centre of the world is
your house, thus all radio stations are
lined up to you.

So, what kind of map did you want and
how are you using it?
