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. http://www.wm7d.net/az_proj/az_html/azproj.shtml So, what kind of map did you want and how are you using it? |
