I am repeating myself in this list - you can get link to paste in to 
JOSM location string by going <A HREF="http://www.informationfreeway.org/" target="_blank"><FONT CLASS="link">http://www.informationfreeway.org/</FONT></A>
zooming to your area and using "Permalink" (look at right bottom of your 
browser for it).

Then get link from browser address bar and copy it to JOSM.
