SOTAData and QSOMaps seem to have errors with Leaflet.js not drawing all the QSOs for a given activation in spite of correct filter settings, so I guess I really am going to have to get serious about writing this Python script to make better QSO maps. 😂
Oddly that's something that should be fairly easy but, mysteriously, isn't. I haven't played around with JavaScript in a quite a few years (Leaflet.js is brilliant but I hate JavaScript), and was a novice at using it, but I'll eventually give it a go.
I do like F5LEN's gridmap website, and use it a lot. I just wish it had better location search (which is usually a fee-for-service thing to implement): https://f5len.org/tools/locator/
@Geojoek Ah, hadn't seen that site yet! CM93/CM94 intersection is my favorite. Haven't yet activated it, but have walked past that location multiple times with zero time for setting up an antenna.
Oh that's fun. The FN32-33-42-43 intersection is a 1.5 hour drive away and near a SOTA Summit, but of course isn't on the summit and is in a swamp. The other closest intersection like that being, of course, in someone's front yard. I'm going to have to go up that way and do a rove around there with a beam for the January VHF contest.
@Geojoek CM93 is a rare grid square. Just a boat ride (or airplane ride) away -- it's actually at the end of a runway on IOTA NA-144, though that does the islands disservice as some are MUCH harder to get to. There's a SOTA location (a mere 1 point but one of the hardest peaks to activate here -- last activated in 2018).
