Tony:
I used this site http://home.att.net/~katzmann/ to get to a freeware
program that printed out a Great Circle map centered on my QTH (well,
Washington, DC anyway.) No prefixes listed. Instead, I laid out several
azimuthal lines from m QTH to the major DX areas (northern Europe, southern
Europe, eastern VK, JA, etc.) I put the prefixes at the ends of the bearing
lines, outside the edge of the map.
Also, FYI the site has a pretty interesting PDF on Edwin Armstrong's
original paper on FM technology.
