[UK-CONTEST] Google Earth and G5XV IOTA Contest 2004

[Ray Goff]

Hi all,

Somebody in the Newbury club just happened to look at the coordinates of the
Stenbury Down location of the G5XV IOTA entry and discovered that the Google
Earth pictures include our contest station.

If you are interested centre Google Earth on North 50 36 40 30, West 1 14 20
00 and zoom in.

On the left hand side is the old RADAR shed which housed the main station,
at the bottom of the picture is the tower with the tri-bander and the 40
metre beam. Towards the top is the tri-bander for the Mult station which is
housed in the tent on the right hand side of the field.

No connection with Google or Google Earth, but amazed that of all the days
to choose to photograph the area, they chose the day of the IOTA contest.
