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

[Lee Volante]

Hi Ray,

That's really good.  Has anyone found any other "plainly visible from the 
air" permanent stations with Google Earth, (or from any other Internet 
mapping provider with aircraft photo's)  ?

Most of the BIIIIG stations worldwide are out of town of course, where often 
there are only relatively low resolution satellite photo's available.  Just 
cross reference QRZ.com with Google, finding postcodes from the one, and 
typing the result into the other. USA Zip codes can be typed straight in 
too. Some entertainment for a cold winter's evening...

My best result so far is Steve GW4BLE in the UK.  That's *not* a washing 
line in his garden.  :-)
