I will, for hams in the USA who want and don't have the resources on hand,
send them their exact lat/long, if they will Email me their street address
and zip code.  About 98% accurate.  Some outlying addresses are iffy,
especially newly developed areas, but I have even been able to do some
interpolations.  I can give you your exact Maidenhead Grid Square, from that
info, too ... but be sure to allow me time to get it back to you -- busy
with several projects!   I did this for the norcalhams reflector, it took a
week or so to respond to all.....    73, Mark  AA6DX
