      www.worldtime.com              I was looking around the Federal Aviation Administration webspages trying       to find a Article (or Image) about a United States map marked off in       Sections (Grids) and found the worldtime website that has a "Sun Time" tab       on it, that looks like what Sidekick would show me on my Windows 95 computer.              Around 1954 one of my friends asked me if I wanted to go with him to a       meeting at the Ground Observers Corps (GOC) Filter Center that was a       U.S. Air Force program.              In the room I saw a wood Plotting Table that had a map of the area about       100 Miles all around my city.              Each Square was marked with two letters, EJ was the Grid that showed where       my city was located.              Amateur Radio uses a Grid Square method to indicate where on the Map My       (or Another Ham Radio Licensee) is located, but this isn't the Map I was       looking for.              When I was in the Navy, one of the Officers had a Map of the U.S.A. that       was marked off in Grids and it showed my home located in the EJ square,       like it showed on the Plotting Table at the GOC Filter Center back home.              I didn't find the Map I was looking for but I did find the worldtime page       and thought I'd mention it to You since we talked about the Sidekick program       on my old Win95 pc.              Maybe someone reading this would know a URL where I could find the Map       of the U.S. that I'm looking for. TIA                     ...
