[David La Puma]

The radar lit up last night, all the way from Corpus Christi, TX up to
Minneapolis, MN (*http://tinyurl.com/y8kfseh)*. Was anyone out listening?
Seeing that map also got me wondering, where IS everyone on this list? (I
mean, where are you, geographically).

I've created a Google Map where you can enter your location, if you wish. I
figured this would be a good way for all of us to know what areas are
covered, need coverage, and/or a way for us to meet up and coordinate some
night listening. This is a public map, so I wouldn't put too much info. I
put my name in the town where I live, but left out any specific address, or
any equipment notes. It might be interesting to put whether you have a fixed
listening station and if it will be running throughout the season, but I
leave that up to you to decide. We can also make it private, and invite the
entire group, in which case we might feel more comfortable sharing more
specifics. Again, I leave this up to the group to decide.

Here's the map link:

I've shared a map with you called NFC-L Participants:

Looking forward to seeing the map fill out!

Cheers,

This may sound rather sad, but I can't seem to figure out how to add my
location. I can add my address, but I can't seem to figure out how to edit
the name of the address.

"We need wilderness because we are wild animals. Every man needs a place
where he can go to go crazy in peace. Every Boy Scout deserves a forest to
get lost, miserable, and starving in. Even the maddest murderer of the
sweetest wife should get a chance for a run to the sanctuary of the hills.
If only for the sport of it. For the terror, freedom, and delirium. Because
we need brutality and raw adventure, because men and women first learned to
love in, under, and all around trees, because we need for every pair of feet
and legs about ten leagues of naked nature, crags to leap from, mountains to
measure by, deserts to finally die in when the heart fails." ~ Edward Abbey
