QDG - What's Your Darn Grid? Bernd DF2ZC notes that Laurent F6FVY has
programmed a tool (http://f6fvy.free.fr/qthLocator/fullScreen.html)
based on Google Earth so that clicking on any spot on a world map
automatically displays the corresponding full grid locator. Adjust
the map to the desired resolution and click on the spot you want. A
small window pops up with longitude, latitude, and grid. (If you have
pop-ups blocked, you'll have to press the Control key while
clicking.)

URL of the Week - Snowed in?  Here's just the Web site to pass the
time. The November "Monitoring Times" Digital Digest column is titled
"What's That Sound?" and includes just what you need. Leif Dehio
seems to have recorded and posted (http://www.signals.taunus.de)
samples of just about every digital mode active today.        Now you can
identify just exactly what those blurbles and bleebles are doing! My
favorite is The Chinese 32-tone MFSK 37.5 + 75 Bd. (Thanks, Cortland
KA5S)
