[CQ-Contest] ARRL DX CW maps of USA contests

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     I now have EVEN BETTER maps of U.S. contestants in the 2002 ARRL 
International DX Contest, CW, on the web:

http://www.wm5r.org/maps/
     
     There was a bug in the ZIP to lat/lon conversion that caused 
those callsigns with FCC database entries that had nine-digit ZIP
codes to be discarded and not drawn on the map.  This was only really
noticable in the case of a few Top Ten stations that were not being drawn 
on the last map.  Thanks to K2UA for pointing out the problem, and to 
K5TM for figuring out how to fix it.

     To those who have inquired - yes - I am planning on making similar
maps showing the U.S. contestants in the 2002 ARRL International DX Contest,
phone.  I will probably also do maps for the most recent Sweepstakes,
10 meter contest, 160 meter contest, etc. for which the ARRL has 
online score databases.  It will just take a little time.  I might also 
be willing, for those writing contest writeups, to make maps like this 
for inclusion in the official results - maybe after we've found all the 
bugs :-)
