[KYHAM] Grid square locator

[Harry Sparks]

Here's a neat Google Earth grid square/longitude & latitude locator. 

This was published in the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet for December 13, 2006.

"QDG - What's Your Darn Grid? Bernd DF2ZC notes that Laurent F6FVY has
programmed a tool (http://f6fvy.free.fr/qthLocator/fullScreen.html)
based on Google Earth so that clicking on any spot on a world map
automatically displays the corresponding full grid locator. Adjust
the map to the desired resolution and click on the spot you want. A
small window pops up with longitude, latitude, and grid. (If you have
pop-ups blocked, you'll have to press the Control key while
clicking.)"
