So, there have been several posts referencing maps or lists of
information about ITU zones:
JF9EXF: http://www4.plala.or.jp/nomrax/ITU/
ICOM: http://www.icomamerica.com/downloads/WorldMap_ITU_LR.pdf
K3RXK: http://www.spacetoday.org/k3rxk/ITUzones.html
There are incosistencies between these sources in a few places, and mostly
it is the ICOM map that seems to be in error:
* ICOM and JF9EXF show the boundaries between zones 1 and 2 as longitude
139W, which would put some of KL7 in zone 2, but the K3RXK description
says all of KL7 is in zone 1.
* The ICOM map shows the boundary between zones 7 and 8 to be longitude 92W.
JF9EXF and K3RXK shows the boundary to be the Mississippi River with all
of Louisiana and Minnesota in zone 7.
* The ICOM map shows the boundary between zones 18 and 19 as longitude 30E.
JF9EXF and K3RXK shows the boundary to be the political boundary between
Finland (OH) and European Russia (R).
* The ICOM map shows Nigeria (5N) in zone 47, but JF9EXF and K3RXK put
it in zone 46.
* The ICOM map shows the boundary between zones 55 and 59 as latitude 29S.
JF9EXF and K3RXK agree that all of South Australia is in zone 59, not
zone 55.
Did I miss anything?
