Now if you made it GeoRSS, then it could be truely useful.
http://www.georss.org/

That way if/when feedreaders become geo-aware (some are already to an
extent) then you can have it filter to only show local (in this case
transmitters maintainence) events. It can also be easily visualised on
other systems like Google Earth, or MS Virtual Earth.


Your wish, our command, etc.

The RSS feed (which is linked from the page or has auto discovery) now has
GeoRSS codes in it. Heaven knows what anyone will use it for, but there we
go.

(We've also made the page itself look a tad prettier.)
