Gents (and Ladies?)--

Every once in a while, I look at the various postings on the "Forum" area of QRZ.COM. Today, I found an interesting post at:  https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/mapping-ham-radio.974780/

This post was by a geography professor who is also a ham radio operator.  He encouraged one of his students to prepare some "maps" related to ham radio activity as a student activity.  Much of the underlying mapping seems to be based on grid squares! 

One map that will be of particular interest to this group shows the number of ham operators by grid square.  I have attached that map to this document.  This map gives some insight into just how difficult earning the Fred Fish award is.

I encourage you to check out the post in the link above.

The map also makes it very clear why we have so few contacts with Southern Georgia in contests as Emil pointed out when he studied several years of logs.
