[CQ-Contest] New BETA RBN map....QTH issue

[N4ZR]

It is a beta site and obviously there is a bug in that function - I have 
informed the guys doing the programming.

We're also still tinkering with the map, but in this case it's QRZ 
that's misplacing you, not us.  I just checked your QRZ listing detail, 
and the map has you just north of Toronto, presumably at VE3IKV's QTH.  
I would guess that QRZ did that because you withheld your address, but 
in any case you need to take that up with them.  I think there's a way 
that you can provide your own coordinates manually.

I'm always available as a point of contact for the RBN team.  The 
"Contact Us" link on the old site is also still working.
