Some addresses disagreed with QRZ.com. Are they mailing vs physical
addresses? (The SECC database needs to be updated.)

Pushpins could be located more accurately if coordinates were used
instead of addresses. Maybe K4SB can glean this info from one of the
online callsign databases and add it as a field to the SECC database.

   Note: I used zip code locations for those addresses that could not be
found on the map. (Software is MS MapPoint 2004.)

The circle can be moved easily in this software. (Low-cost trial version
is available at http://www.microsoft.com/mappoint/2004/trial.mspx. If
interested in purchasing your own copy, contact me for where I got
mine.)
