G'day,
Also of a certain age. Seeing we are on a nostalgia trip I've got a
great circle map centred on the Falkland Islands:
Prepared in the Radio Branch, E-in-C's Office, GPO. Hand drafted in
June 1945. Indian ink I guess. Framed and hanging in the passage
out of direct sunlight. Relocated from my office when we migrated
from HF links to SatCom in late 1983.
Apart from decoration I would have thought that current logging apps
and similar would provide all the info required and maps without a
large printed map. I do nevertheless have an A4 size printed map
(laminated) produced by GMCWin somewhere but seldom look at it
having built up a mental database of beam headings for various
global locations over years of DXing.
Regards,
Mike VP8NO
