Me, I've gone Postel ...

[Actually, that comment is semi-serious. I'm looking at reprojecting 
world map data into azimuthal equidistant projection (aka Postel) 
centred on my home location. Why? I'm a radio ham, and azimuthal 
equidistant is the most useful for plotting propagation maps. Long 
distance radio conditions have been stellar of late; I've been able to 
talk to South Africa, Réunion, the Cook Islands and the Sakhalins with a 
small transmitter and a simple antenna.]
