And a specific call out to:

  • Allen @VK3HRA for helping georeference a bunch of JPEG maps
  • Warren @ZL2AJ who did a fair percentage of the surveying, and
  • Myla Navarro, who also helped coordinate the DU side of things.

Thanks @G4TJC Simon and @K6EL Elliot for helping out so that we could update the W4K summit list and ARM!

I’d not though to characterize strip mining this way when we revised the W4K ARM but I’ll make a note for the next revision. :dancer:
