As part of the organisation for the Qls Soaring Assoc Easter Comp 2004, Brian and I are working on producing a complete turn point list which will (as far as is possible) consist of air fields/strips - and the data will include the altitude. We are also intending to verify the location wherever possible using a ground visit. At this year's Easter Comp, the QSA undertook to coordinate a TP list for SE Qld which would be used in all future comps in the area - and any work we do will contribute to this effort. -- Robert Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Strategic IT & open source consulting +61 (0)438 385 533 Brisbane, Australia http://www.interweft.com.au -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information.
