You can go to the FCC website to find the license information and the license
will have the coordinates for the location of the repeaters or bases, whatever
you are looking for.Then punch the coordinates into Google Maps and it should
show the location of them.

I will have to check. We have a lot of new hams that don't
have much experience in trans. hunts, but it might be a very good exercise for
our ARES program. Will look into that.
It's sad, as the people that first started installing the radio out here when
out of business, then next group that took over has no records of the repeater
locations, the next group only installs in the buses themselves and another
company came in and sold them them some of the Ht's that are use by maint. and
mechs. and have no clue about anything else that the correct freq. to place
them on.
The saga continues.
Thanks
