[UK-CONTEST] Great Circle DX Map

[G4FNL]

Robin

>From the contest reflector, I did receive info that you can buy a map - from
Waters and Stanton - but it looks too small for me. The other suggestions
that I've had are that you can print your own (again not too good as I don't
have an A2 or A1 plotter) and sticking A4 sheets together to form a larger
scale map, well, just looks awful.

I did speak to a representative on the RSGB Stand at the Convention about a
larger scale Great Circle map, and they reckoned that the RSGB might be
about to produce one that you can buy from their shop. However, I don't know
the timescales......

If you do find a source - please let me know. 

The old RSGB Green / Black on a white background with the prefixes on the
map was ideal - and hopefully the info I got from the RSGB stand was right.
So currently, I am awaiting the outcome to see what they produce (but not
holding my breath). I just took a look on the RSGB Shop website under maps
but unfortunately, there's no great circle map shown.

I have a feeling this was discussed in front of the RSGB stand at the
convention !
But has anyone found a supply of the maps !... mine got thrown out a couple
of years ago and was very useful for covering up patches on the wall ! ;-)
