[aprssig] What the? Local situational awareness?

[Chris Rose]

HI,
Where are U?  I tried to look in the area you had
specified in your post for the Italian station but
can't see the location on my APRS map screen.  I am
looking at the county line of Monroe and Wayne near
Lake Erie.  Am I in the right spot?
