TOWER GUIDE FOR THE UNSOPHISTICATED (Help xmtrland!!)

L

LITTLEBOYBLUE

Flew by Vashon yesterday and realized I don't think I know who's who over there. Can anyone give a map (starting with north end of Island) of who's farm is whose? There is an array north of KVI that I didn't realize is there...KVI is on the beach ... couple on Maury Island, etc.

Thanks in advance....!
 
You can get a birds eye view by using google or msn earth and typing the coordinates into your search. The coordinates are available at radio-locator.com and I bet other sites have them too.
 
LBB you must psychic. I actually started and run a non profit that has a business directory for Vashon. The information is also displayed on a hand drawn map of Vashon Maury Island. It was developed by a friend here the island. We had competing websites so my non profit group bought his business directory, http://vashonmap.com  (wonder where I learned that trick). Again the map is hand drawn and not totally to scale.

Here are the links to the transmitter sites on Vashon Maury Island, starting North. If you click on the map dot links it will take you to further info where you get a little history and a link to google maps for a better look if you want.

My friend, Andrew Maxwell who developed the map software is coming out with a new version. With the new version you can map any jpg. Soon any one will be able to map out transmitter location or whatever. For more information go to http://mapmate.com

I run http://vashonpages.com it is a business directory and information source for Vashon Maury Island. http://vashonmap.com is the map version. There are many sites that make up VashonPages. By the time people are reading this I should be updating the news headlines http://vashonnews.com. That Black Bear that ran across the Island actually gave the News site a nice spike in traffic. The best free advertising to date for me. People were googling Vashon and bear and came to my site….was very nice…I miss that bear.

And of course I’m going to plug my dogs website. http://vashondogs.com. Some where I have pictures of them playing in KIRO’s and KGNW’s field. And KONA http://vashondogs.com/inplay/kona/index.html The jet sking dog lives in the purple house on the right as you first start to drive up the KGNW/KJR driveway.
OK my house is here http://vashonmap.com/go/952

Have fun exploring the Island.
