Express in the forum Classifieds http://www.w4gso.org/forums/t/radio-shack-coming-back-express/ Mon, 23 Jul 2018 18:43:03 -0400 I saw an ARRL email blurb mentioning that Radio Shack will be coming to North Carolina and other states in the form of hobby express stores.

Still others have paper maps or smart phones running applications for orienting. And let us not forget the Internet and the many mapping and orienting resources there.
