[wxqc] Location CW3462

[John L. Wilson]

Hi June,
 
Your registered position shows 3502.82N, 08211.00W  as shown here
http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/C3462
 
However, you station is sending the following position 3500.00N, 08212.00W
as shown here http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?call=CW3462
 
The second one is the Google map position which is different from the one
shows on Phillips quality control site.  If the first one is correct, then
you need to change the position setup in your weather program.
 
Hope this helps
 
Monty Wilson, AP677

Sorry to keep bugging you Philip, but I went to the Findu map for my
location and it is wrong.
 
On the information on print outs to me the lat., long, and elevation ARE
correct and put me much further into semi open land.  lat. 35 degrees 2' 49"
N (deg min sec). 35.0470" decimal,3502.82N (LORAN)
long  82 degrees 11' 0"(deg min sec).-82 1833" (decimal), 08211.00W (LORAN)
Elevation   305 meters (1000 feet)
 
etc. etc. etc.   this is not what the google map says.  By roads you stay on
357 for about 2 to 3 miles past where Holly Springs is listed on the Google
map then you take a left turn onto my street and there in the driveway to my
house if the indication was in real time you would find the pointer.  Hope
this hasn't driven you crazy.  But your records are saying that I am located
where I am not.  And as I mentioned I had so much trouble at first getting
the thing lined up that poor Dave Helms took time to get me in the right
place and he did it good.  Much better than Google.
 
Thanks again,                    June Robinson    CWOP3462
