Hi David

I would like to share something similar that  I have built  but
for Google Earth ,you can take a look in this URL
https://sites.google.com/site/sdimunzio/english
I'm actually building a better version but the current one  should work,
it uses www.qrz.com to get the coordinates (was done for contest logs),
next version will allow to use the  grid field from the  log file.

Regards
