The Latitude and Longitude of your flying site will identify the exact location
of your field. For the United States the Latitude (North-South) will be a
positive number between 40 and 20, next followed by usually 6 decimal places.
for example Pinkham Field - Durham, CT has Latitude = 41.474875. The Longitude
(East-West) for the US is a negative number between -70 and -120, next followed
by usually 6 decimal places. for example Pinkham Field - Durham, CT has
Longitude = -72.686822.
Your flying site GPS information will be included on the FAC calendar. Anyone
can click on it and open a Google Map of your flying site.
About a month before your contest GHQ will lookup all members who are within a
radius of your flying site. They will be emailed your contest information with a
iCal Calendar Event ready to add to their own calendar and
personal directions from their house to your contest flying site.
