[CQ-Contest] Census Bureau State County Maps

[Charles Sanders]

Hi Mike -- Saw your comment to K8MR's note and thought I would follow up
with this note of my own

County overlay maps showing an outline of each county for each state are
also available in KML format from this page
<http://www.no5w.com/CQxCountyOverlays-DL.php> of my website.

Once you have extracted the two files you can import the KML file into
Google Maps where the overlay will appear along with a menu listing the
counties. If desired, as you work a county click on the menu item of the
county and choose a color to fill in. Regarding real-time interface to
N1MM+ that is doable but is not yet available (at least not from me:>)).
Currently the coloring process would be easy but would be manual.

If you are going mobile and have APRS another use of the overlays is to use
them in conjunction with APRS.fi to show your location in relation to the
county boundaries.

Both of the above are relatively straight forward but if you have questions
about the details feel free to contact me.

Also note that the data in these files is also used to produce the County
Activity Maps <https://www.no5w.com/FQP_AnnouncedPlans.html> for FQP and
several other parties.
