T he mapping of the VSCS VDM maps was carefully worked out in an attempt to keep resources in the same or similar positions on all VDMs in the Glen Rose Area. A look at the maps on several positions shows that the ZAB holler lines are all in the bottom left corner of the number one screen. If the sector is not adjacent to ZAB, it may then be adjacent to Regional Approach, so the primary Regional Approach holler lines are located in the same spot as the ZAB line on other sectors. Generally speaking, while the primary VSCS maps are in use, it will become easier to locate resources as you get more sectors due to the logical layout. Glen Rose s VSCS maps were configure so as to make the changing of maps, or reconfigurations, unnecessary, however, other maps are available with fewer resources to reduce clutter.
People often ask about the seemingly strange placement of some resources.
Well, that s so that they are in the same place, though on the second screen, when INK is on low altitude. There are a number of situations like this, ask the VSCS Mapper and it ll be explained. T he current VSCS Mapper for Glen Rose is Stewart Rennie. The I-BUEC is there to provide a redundant site for EDN, AQN and HIC, since all the frequencies are at Dublin. While it uses the same radios as the regular sites, it isn t checked for coverage.
