Re: new POTA and SOTA poll #poll-notice


 

+ AA6YQ comments below.

You'd have to account for the fact that some parks are in multiple counties, states, and even grids.

+ The downloadable POTA park definition file specifies the following for each POTA reference number:

- Park Name, e.g. "Acadia National Park"

- Active

- DXCC entity code, e.g. 291 (continental US)

- DXCC entity abbreviation and primary administrative subdivision, e.g. US-ME

- latitude & longitude

- grid square

+ Double-clicking on a Spot Database Entry with POTA reference NO-1631 - Reinaya Nature Reserve - specifies NO-IN,NO-MR, meaning that it lies in two Norwegian primary subdivisions, could display a small window asking the user to choose the correct primary subdivision or leave it blank.

+ Multiple grid squares could be handled in the same way.
