[CQ-Contest] Google Earth CQ zones overlay

I played around with a KML file of maidenhead grid squares last year.  
It's a very large file and sometimes causes Google Earth to crash.  You 
can download it at <http://www.n5na.net/grid/WorldGrid_2+4.kmz>.

It starts out showing the 2 letter grids.  As you zoom in the 4 letter 
grids appear.  Give it several seconds to load before you start zooming in.

A KMZ file is just a KML file that has been zipped up.  If you want to 
get back to the base KML just change the extension to zip and unzip it.
