Infrastructure & Frequency List

The coordinates listed below all use the WGS84 datum, and are given in pairs:
The first coordinate is in decimal degrees, which should be the norm for coordinate notation due to its simplicity and accuracy (it has become the new world standard with digital maps, and where GPSrs are used).
The second coordinate uses the less accurate Maidenhead grid, the old standard used in the Amateur Radio community
